Harold Tate (priest)

Last updated

Harold Edward George Tate was Archdeacon of Bombay from 1948 until 1950.

An archdeacon is a senior clergy position in the Syriac Orthodox Church, Church of the East, Chaldean Catholic Church, Anglican Communion, St Thomas Christians, Eastern Orthodox churches and some other Christian denominations, above that of most clergy and below a bishop. In the High Middle Ages it was the most senior diocesan position below a bishop in the Catholic Church. An archdeacon is often responsible for administration within an archdeaconry, which is the principal subdivision of the diocese. The Oxford Dictionary of the Christian Church has defined an archdeacon as "A cleric having a defined administrative authority delegated to him by the bishop in the whole or part of the diocese." The office has often been described metaphorically as that of oculus episcopi, the "bishop's eye".

Tate was educated at the University of Calcutta; and ordained in 1925. [1] He was Assistant Chaplain at Byculla until 1929 when he became Curate of St Stephen, Portsea. [2] Returning to India he was Chaplain at Hubli before his time as Archdeacon and Vicar of Waterlooville afterwards. [3]
