From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

William Brian Herd (1931  18 July 2016)[1] was an Anglican bishop in Uganda.[2]

Herd was born in Belfast in 1931;[3] educated at Clifton Theological College and ordained in 1959. After a curacy in Wolverhampton he served in Uganda. He was Archdeacon of Karamoja from 1970 to 1975; and its Bishop from his consecration on 11 January 1976.

Herd was the last white Anglican bishop of the Ugandan Church; he was expelled from the country following the murder of Archbishop Janani Luwum.[4][5] Four other Anglican bishops also fled the country at the same time.

He died on 18 July 2016.[6]
