Robert E. L. Strider Sr.

Robert Edward Lee Strider (April 9, 1887 – August 8, 1969) was the third Bishop of West Virginia in the Episcopal Church in the United States.

Strider was rector at St. Matthew's Episcopal Church in Wheeling, West Virginia when elected bishop coadjutor to Rt.Rev.

Although he had been handling diocesan affairs for several years, he formally succeeded Bishop Gravatt in 1939, and retired as announced after his 68th birthday in 1955.

During his episcopate, the diocese established the Peterkin Camp and Conference Center in Romney, West Virginia, which he consecrated in 1946.

[2] The diocese also received a significant bequest, Sandscrest Farms near Oglesbay outside Wheeling, which was intended to become a retirement facility, but which became a conference center.
