The son of an Episcopal priest,[1] Reginald Heber Weller, Jr., was born in Jefferson City, Missouri[2] or Jacksonville, Florida[1][3] on November 6, 1857.
After attending the University of the South at Sewanee, Tennessee, Weller received his degree of Bachelor of Divinity at Nashotah House in 1884.
The Russian Orthodox bishop of Alaska, Tikhon, was present as well as Antoni Kozlowski [pl] of the Polish National Catholic Church.
Attendants at the Lambeth Conference in 1930 found Weller taking an active part in its deliberations and preaching in several English cathedrals.
At home or abroad, Weller was a defender of the faith, a stirring, convincing preacher of great ability, a wise pastor, generous friend, and a man of God.
