Street John"s College.
After World War I service with the Royal Army Medical Corps he went up to Street John's College, Oxford. Ordained in 1924 he became Professor of Hebrew and Theology at Street David"s College, Lampeter, holding the post until his elevation to the Episcopate. A noted author and Sub-Prelate of the Order of Street John of Jerusalem, he retired in 1967 and died four years later.
His papers are held at the Roderic Bowen Library.
Nonetheless, Fisher (who had by then retired) and Morris were later among those senior clergy who objected to the proposed Anglican-Methodist reunion which was being mooted during the late 1960s and early 1970s, and they remained on friendly terms, with Fisher even saying that the new flurries of correspondence between them was "quite like old times". Foreign all his claims of a Tractarian position however, Morris did not, it appears, always endear himself to those clergy who took a more Anglo-Catholic stance, he prohibited extra-eucharistic devotions to the Sacrament (such as Benediction) in his diocese and insisted that permission be sought before the Sacrament was reserved in a tabernacle or aumbry for use in giving Holy Communion to the sick.
The John Piper east window and mural at Street Woolos" (Gwynllyw) Cathedral in Newport, Wales, were commissioned and installed during his episcopate.
