From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Godfrey William Ernest Candler Ashby was the 8th Bishop of St John's in what is now known as Mthatha. He was educated at The King's School, Chester and King’s College London[1]. Ordained Deacon in 1955 and Priest a year later, his first post was as a Curate at St Peter, St Helier, Morden[2]. After a spell as Priest in charge of St Mark Mission[3] he emigrated to South Africa. Here he rose steadily in the Church hierarchy, being successively: Subwarden of St Paul’s College Grahamstown; Rector of Alice, Eastern Cape; a senior lecturer in Hebrew at Rhodes University; Dean and Archdeacon of the Anglican Diocese of Grahamstown[4]; a Diocesan Bishop; and, finally, Professor of Divinity at the University of the Witwatersrand. In retirement he continued to serve the church as an Assistant Bishop within the Leicester Diocese.
