Hubert Cunliffe-Jones (30 March 1905 – 3 January 1991) was an Australian-born Congregational Church minister and author, who became chairman of the Congregational Union of England and Wales and a professor at the University of Manchester. He was an Honorary Doctor of Divinity from the University of Edinburgh.[1][2]
Cunliffe-Jones was born in Strathfield, New South Wales, the son of the Reverend Walter and Maud Cunliffe-Jones. His father was minister of the Strathfield-Homebush Congregational church (now Uniting Church – Korean Parish).[3] He was educated at Newington College (1917–1921)[4] and in his final year was awarded one of three Wigram Allen Scholarships. These were presented by Sir George Wigram Allen following a special examination in March of each year, for classics, mathematics and general proficiency. In 1921, Cunliffe-Jones received the scholarship in classics and William Morrow for general proficiency.[5] He went to the University of Sydney in 1922 and graduated as a Bachelor of Arts in 1925.[6] He then studied theology at the Camden College, Glebe, and the Melbourne College of Divinity, graduating with a Bachelor of Divinity.[7] He was ordained in 1928 and received the call to minister at Warrnambool. He married his wife of 56 years, Maude Edith Clifton in 1933.
