Fred Morris (bishop)

George Frederick Bingley Morris (1884–1965)[1] was an Anglican Bishop of North Africa[2] in the mid 20th century.

[3] Morris was born in Edinburgh and educated at Queens' College, Cambridge and ordained in 1911.

[4] After a curacy at St Paul Portman Square he became a missionary in Uganda.

Returning to England he was Rector of Illogan until his elevation to the episcopate in 1943.

Geoffrey Fisher, the then Archbishop of Canterbury, described this action as putting himself "outside the fellowship of the Anglican Communion".
