Keith Seaman

Reverend Sir Keith Douglas Seaman, KCVO, OBE (born 11 June 1920) was Governor of South Australia from 1 September 1977 until 28 March 1982. He was the second successive governor to have been a minister of religion, Seaman being a minister in then recently-merged Uniting Church in Australia.

Seaman's term as governor was not without controversy. On February 24, 1978, "The Advertiser" reported that he was about to be dismissed. He wasn't, but was forced to admit that he had committed a 'grave impropriety' prior to his appointment. It had been examined by the Uniting Church discipline committee, and he had been allowed to continue his ministry.

Before being appointed governor, Reverend Keith Seaman had been superintendent of the "Adelaide Central Methodist Mission" (now "Uniting"Care" Wesley Adelaide"), and in 1973 was a member of the National Commission on Social Welfare, set up by Prime Minister Gough Whitlam.
