London : Reverend Kenneth Jennings, who spent seven years at the Bishops College, Kolkata in the 1960s and maintained close relations with the Indian community in Gloucester, has died aged 77.
He spent seven years at Bishops’ College, Calcutta, in the 1960s, first as a lecturer, then as vice-principal. The college was one of the Anglican Church’s most prestigious institutions and trained clergy of the United Church of North India.
Jennings’s experience in India enabled him to establish a warm relationship with Gloucester’s Indian community and to promote inter-faith harmony in the city, according to his obituary in the Daily Telegraph.
Known as a sound scholar, a competent administrator and knowledgeable music lover, Jennings was the Dean of Gloucester from 1983 to 1996. Born in 1930 in Hertfordshire, he went up to Corpus Christi College at Cambridge to read Theology.
