Charles Harold Wilfred de Soysa MA (1907-1971) was the first Ceylonese Anglican Bishop of Colombo, Sri Lanka.

Thereafter, he was trained for the Priesthood at Cuddesdon College and was ordained in 1934 at St Paul's Cathedral.

[2][3][4] After working in England for a short period, he returned to Ceylon to serve in Kandy and Moratuwa.

In fact, his work in this area was so well recognised that he was one of three delegates appointed by the Archbishop of Canterbury, Dr. Michael Ramsey in the Anglican-Roman Catholic conversations.

[1][4][6] He was instrumental in the construction of the Cathedral of Christ the Living Saviour, in Cinnamon Gardens, Colombo.
