Mowbray Stephen O'Rorke (21 May 1869 – 15 March 1953) was an Anglican bishop in Africa in the first quarter of the 20th century.[1][2][3]

Ordained ministry

O'Rorke was ordained Deacon in 1902 and Priest in 1903.[4] He served curacies at St Paul's, Jarrow, St Margaret's, Durham, and St Oswald's, Durham. He then moved to Australia and became Priest in charge of St Paul's Cathedral, Rockhampton, Queensland.[citation needed]

In 1911 he was elevated to the episcopate as the second Bishop of Accra.[5] Resigning in 1924, he was Rector of Blakeney, Norfolk, Guardian of the Shrine at Our Lady of Walsingham,[6] and then Chaplain at King's College, Taunton until his retirement in 1939.[citation needed]

Personal life

O'Rorke was born on 21 May 1869,[7] in Birmingham, Warwickshire, England to William Joseph O'Rorke (1835-1924) and Annie Elizabeth née Wilson (1840-1912). He was educated at Trinity College, Dublin.[8]

He had a sister, Annie Elizabeth (1874-1962), and four brothers, including:

  • The Rev Benjamin Garniss O'Rorke MA DSO (1875-1918), army chaplain and prisoner of war[9]
  • Lt Col Frederick Charles O'Rorke (1879-1976), who served with the Army Veterinary Corps on the Western Front, 1914 - 1919
