Edward Crowther

Clarence Edward Crowther (known as Edward; born 4 March 1929) was the sixth Anglican Bishop of Kimberley and Kuruman who on appointment was its youngest bishop.[1]

Born in Bradford on 4 March 1929 he was educated at the University of Leeds, where he obtained a BA in 1950, LLB in 1952, and LLM in 1953 and at Cuddesdon College for one year (1955/56).[2][3]

After writing a text on religious trusts,[4] he was ordained Deacon in 1956 and Priest the following year. After a period as a College Chaplain in the United States he rose rapidly in the church's hierarchy, becoming Dean of St Cyprian’s Cathedral, Kimberley in South Africa,[5] and then its Diocesan Bishop in 1965. Two years later he was expelled from the country for his opposition to apartheid. In 1970 he returned to California as Assistant Bishop and obtained a doctorate, later published as a book, at the University of California in 1975 for his research on the treatment of the terminally ill.[6] In 1984 he became Assistant Bishop of Los Angeles.

Now retired he lives in France.[7]
