  • Alfred Edwin Morris (* 8. Mai 1894 in , West Midlands; † 19. Oktober 1971 nahe Lampeter) war ein anglikanischer Bischof und Primas der Church in Wales. Morris wurde Mai 1894 in Lye in den West Midlands als ältester Sohn von Alfred Morris und dessen Frau Maria Lickert geboren. Bis zum Alter von 12 Jahren besuchte er die Stambermill School in Lye. Danach begann er in dem Juwelierladen seines Vaters zu arbeiten. Im Alter von 18 Jahren entschied sich Morris sein Leben der Kirche zu widmen. Sein Mangel an schulischer Bildung hielt ihn jedoch vorerst davon ab. Der Vikar der in Lye gelegenen St. Mark's Church, ein Waliser, der das St. David's College in Lampeter besucht hatte, empfahl ihm die St. David's College School zu besuchen, um das Versäumte nachzuholen und schließlich die geforderten Voraussetzungen für ein Studium zu erfüllen. Morris schrieb sich an der St. David's College School ein, wurde jedoch durch den Ausbruch des Ersten Weltkrieges überrascht. Er diente in der 9. Division des Royal Army Medical Corps in Frankreich. Nach seiner Rückkehr schloss Morris seine Schulausbildung ab und begann sein Theologiestudium am St. David's College. 1922 erhielt er dort seinen first class honours in Theologie. Im Anschluss setzte Morris sein Studium an dem St John’s College der University of Oxford fort. Im Jahr 1923 erhielt er hier den Junior Septuagint Prize und wurde 1924 mit dem Junior Greek Testament Prize ausgezeichnet. Noch im selben Jahr graduierte er und erhielt erneut einen first class honours Abschluss in Theologie. Seinen Master-Abschluss bekam er 1928. Morris setzte sein Studium fort und erhielt in den 1930ern seinen an der University of Wales, Lampeter. Von 1924 bis 1945 war Morris Professor für Hebräisch und Theologie am St. David's College, seinem alten college in Lampeter. Im Jahr 1925 wurde Morris in der St. David's Cathedral zum Diakon geweiht und wurde noch im selben Jahr Examining Chaplain des Bischofs von Bangor, was Morris bis 1928 blieb. 1931 wurde er zum Lloyd Williams Fellow des St. David's College gewählt und übernahm den Posten des Examining Chaplain für den Bischof von Llandaff. Neben seiner Tätigkeit am St. David's College war Morris auch Mitglied des Stadtrats von Lampeter und bekleidete 1942 das Amt des Bürgermeisters der Stadt. 1945 verließ Morris Lampeter, da er zum Bischof von Monmouth gewählt worden war. Im Jahr 1957 erfolgte seine Wahl zum Erzbischof von Wales. Beide Ämter bekleidete er bis 1967, als er in den Ruhestand ging. Er starb Oktober 1971 in seinem Haus nahe Lampeter. (de)
  • Alfred Edwin Morris (8 May 1894 – 19 October 1971) was the Bishop of Monmouth and Archbishop of Wales in the middle of the 20th century. After World War I service with the RAMC he was educated at St David's College Lampeter and then St John's College, Oxford. Ordained in 1924 he became Professor of Hebrew and Theology at St David's College, Lampeter, holding the post until his elevation to the episcopate. A noted author and Sub-Prelate of the Order of St John of Jerusalem, he retired in 1967 and died four years later. His papers are held at the Roderic Bowen Library. A staunch defender of the Church in Wales, Morris attracted controversy when he said that "The Church in Wales is the Catholic Church in this land" and referred to Roman Catholic and Nonconformist clergy as being "strictly speaking, intruders" whose rights to function in Wales could not be acknowledged. He also campaigned against the retention of the word "Protestant" in the Coronation Oath, entering into detailed correspondence with the then Archbishop of Canterbury, Geoffrey Fisher, on the issue. He was unsuccessful, and Fisher even questioned whether such matters were really the business of a prelate who was "not a bishop of the Church of England". Nonetheless, Fisher (who had by then retired) and Morris were later among those senior clergy who objected to the proposed Anglican-Methodist reunion which was being mooted during the late 1960s and early 1970s. They remained on friendly terms, with Fisher even saying that the new flurries of correspondence between them was "quite like old times". For all his claims of a Tractarian position however, Morris did not, it appears, always endear himself to those clergy who took a more Anglo-Catholic stance. He prohibited extra-eucharistic devotions to the Sacrament (such as Benediction) in his diocese and insisted that permission be sought before the Sacrament was reserved in a tabernacle or aumbry for use in giving Holy Communion to the sick. Although the basis for his faith and doctrine was undoubtedly the 1662 Book of Common Prayer, he oversaw as Archbishop of Wales the preparation of a new Order for the Celebration of the Holy Eucharist for use in the Church in Wales. When, in 1966 this replaced the 1662 rite he commended it unreservedly, saying that the new rite brought "priest and people more effectively than does the Prayer Book service". The John Piper east window and mural at St Woolos' (Gwynllyw) Cathedral in Newport, Wales, were commissioned and installed during his episcopate. (en)
