George Mosley Murray (April 12, 1919 – July 14, 2006) was a bishop of the Episcopal Church in the United States.
As a small child, George's parents moved him to Bessemer, Alabama, his father's new place of employment.
[1] He worked for the General Electric company in Charlotte, North Carolina, until 1942 when he joined the Navy.
Murray served as an instructor in the Gunnery School for a year before volunteering for seventeen months on the submarine Pintado.
So after his discharge in 1946, Murray decided that he wanted to attend the Virginia Theological Seminary in which graduated cum laude with a Bachelor of Divinity degree in 1948.
When the Diocese of the Central Gulf Coast was created from the southern one-third of Alabama and the Florida panhandle, he accepted the call to become its Bishop and left for Mobile, the new see city.
A year later, he was made an honorary Doctor of Divinity by the University of the South and his alma mater, Virginia Theological Seminary.
While serving as Bishop Coadjutor, Murray was one of eight Birmingham clergymen who co-authored an April 12, 1963, open letter on racial tensions titled "A Call for Unity".
