Bernard Judd

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Bernard Judd (1918-1999) was an Anglican minister from Sydney, Australia.

He was a former student of Sydney Boys High School and later gave scripture lessons there. He was studied at Moore Theological College and was ordained in 1943. He was the minister at St Peter's, East Sydney (1947-1986). Judd was a man of strong belief and was noted for his opposition to alcohol, drugs, gambling, organised crime, and (in earlier years) the Roman Catholic Church. He broadcast on a local radio station 2CH and wrote many letters to the Sydney Morning Herald. Judd was made an MBE and OAM.

“Bernard Judd was a Christian man of quite remarkable stickability in those causes and convictions to which he had committed himself. His convictions were strong, but he was no bigot. He was independent in mind and judgement.” — Bishop Donald Robinson.

There is a Bernard Judd Foundation and a Bernard Judd Memorial Lecture (2004 lecture).
