Albert Kenneth Cragg (8 March 1913 – 13 November 2012) was an Anglican bishop and scholar[1] who commented widely[2] on religious topics for more than fifty years, most notably Christian–Muslim relations.
He was educated at Blackpool Grammar School and Jesus College, Oxford.
He began his career with a curacy at Higher Tranmere Parish Church, Birkenhead after which he was Chaplain of All Saints', Beirut, Rector of Longworth,[6] Professor of Arabic and Islamics, Hartford Seminary, Connecticut and warden of St Augustine's College, Canterbury.
[7] There was at that time no Bishop of Egypt, and Cragg was given responsibility for the oversight of the Anglican communities in that country, until, in 1974, as a result of the reorganisation of the Anglican Church in the Middle East, a new Bishop was appointed.
[8] He was then appointed Reader in Religious Studies, at Sussex University,[9] following which he was Vicar of Helme (and an Assistant Bishop within the Wakefield Diocese).
