Weston Stewart

In 1933 Stewart suggested acquiring land together with the British Mandate government for a new municipal cemetery on Mount Scopus next to the British Jerusalem War Cemetery, allowing each different Christian congregation to use a specific section for its burials.

In 1943 he was appointed the seventh Anglican Bishop in Jerusalem[6] and Dean of the Collegiate Church of St George the Martyr in Jerusalem following the sudden death of Francis Graham Brown in a car accident in November 1942.

[7] Because of World War II he found it difficult to travel to London for his consecration by William Temple, Archbishop of Canterbury, on St Matthew's Day 1943 (21 September), at Westminster Abbey.

In 1952, assisted by the former diplomat Stewart Perowne, he was involved in designing and organising model villages for Palestinian Arabs who had been made refugees as a result of the 1948 Arab–Israeli War.

On 16 November 1956 Stewart consecrated and dedicated the newly built St Paul's Anglican Church in Kuwait.
