The Rev Dr Humphrey Fisher obituary

My father, Humphrey Fisher, who has died aged 85, was an academic and priest deeply committed to inclusion and diversity. He never achieved high office, but instead sought to support his students and to bridge religious and ethnic differences.

Born in Dunedin, New Zealand, he was the son of Allan Fisher and his wife, Airini (nee Pope), both academics. His father's career as an economist took the family to Australia and Britain. Humphrey was evacuated to Canada during the second world war.
