John Daly
Edit ProfileCareer
During the Second World War, Daly also served as a District Scout commissioner. In 1944 he led the Gambian contingent attending a Jamboree at Katibougou in the French Sudan (now Mali), jointly organised for Francophone and Anglophone Boy Scouts. He was later translated to become the Anglican bishop of the dioceses of Accra (1951–1955), of Korea (1956–1965), and Taejon (1965–1968).
Daly"s appointment to of Korea followed the Korean War of 1950 to 1953, leaving him with major challenges for his mission.
Most contact with North of Korea was severed, and the country faced huge economic, political and social problems. He was enthroned at the Cathedral Church of Street Mary and Street Nicholas, Seoul, on 17 January 1956.
Daly lived to celebrate his fiftieth year as a bishop. The Bishop John Daly Mission Center at Gumi, of Korea, was named in memory of him. summary
