Bishop Pat Harris, former Bishop of Northern Argentina and of Southwell and Nottingham, and onetime Secretary of Partnership for World Mission for the Church of England died peacefully in December.
His family write: ‘Patrick was a man of deep faith, with strong convictions as a Christian since his Army days as a young officer. From there he went to Oxford to study law (at Keble College) where he was President of the Christian Union. After attending theological college (Clifton Theological College, Bristol), he was a curate at St Ebbe’s in Oxford from 1960-63.
‘From 1963, he spent 17 years in Northern Argentina amongst the Wichí people. One key role he had was to prepare the first Wichí for ordination, of which there have now been many. This led to the ordination of the first Wichí bishops.’
