Clive Handford
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
George Clive Handford, CMG[1] was the fourth Bishop of Cyprus and the Gulf.[2] Educated at Hatfield College and Queen's College, Edgbaston,[3] he was ordained in 1963 and began his ecclesiastical carer with a curacy in Mansfield. He then began what was to be along association with the Middle East by becoming a Chaplain in Lebanon before a stint as Dean of St. George's Cathedral, Jerusalem.
Often embroiled in centuries old disputes he clearly stated his own view in a letter to The Times in 1977:
"I am neither pro-Arab nor pro-Jew, I am pro-human[4]"
Returning to England he became successively Vicar of Kneesall, Archdeacon of Nottingham[5] and then in 1990 Suffragan Bishop of Warwick. He was then translated to the Mediterranean See of Paphos where he served the Anglican Community until retirement in 2007.[6]
