Alan Rogers (bishop)
Alan Francis Bright Rogers (1907–2003)[1] was an Anglican Bishop who held three different posts in an ecclesiastical career spanning over half a century.[2]
Educated at Westminster City School and King's College London and ordained in 1932, he began his career with a Curacy at St Stephen's, Shepherds Bush.[3] From 1934 he served the Anglican Church in Mauritius, firstly as a missionary priest then as its Archdeacon. Returning to England he became Vicar of Twickenham followed by a spell as Rural Dean of Hampstead before elevation to the Episcopate as Bishop of Mauritius in 1959.[4] Translated to Fulham in 1966,[5] his final appointment was a sideways move to Edmonton[6] four years later. In retirement he continued to serve the church as an Assistant Bishop for a further quarter of a century.
