John Taylor

We salute the memory of the late John Taylor who departed this life in May of 2016. Having served the Church for many years in parishes and in the theological college of Oak Hill (where he was Vice-Principal for eight years), he was then appointed to be Bishop of St Albans, from 1980 to 1995.

Since stepping down from his diocese he devoted himself to the Bible Society, and to the work of Tyndale House and the Biblical Research Library. He wrote the Tyndale Commentary on Ezekiel. He married Linda – a former probation officer and social worker. As you view this ‘memorial message’ today, remember Linda and the three children, all of whom are in Christian ministry.
