Education
He studied at Hatfield College, Durham University.
Career
He then underwent ministerial formation at Queen"s College, Edgbaston. Handford was ordained in 1963 and began his ministry as a curate in Mansfield. He then started what was to be a long association with the Middle East by becoming a chaplain in Lebanon before Dean of Saint George"s Cathedral, Jerusalem.
Often embroiled in centuries old disputes he clearly stated his own view in a letter to The Times in 1977:
"I am neither pro-Arab nor pro-Jew, I am pro-human."
Returning to England he became Vicar of Kneesall, Archdeacon of Nottingham.
Then, in 1990, he was elected Suffragan Bishop of Warwick. He was then translated to the Mediterranean Anglican Diocese of Cyprus and the Gulf where he served the Anglican Community until retirement in 2007.
