Anglican bishop From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
George Alfred Swartz (8 September 1928 - 1 January 2006) was a South African Anglican bishop. He was the ninth Bishop of Kimberley and Kuruman.[1]
Swartz was educated at the University of the Witwatersrand and Pembroke College, Cambridge.[2]
Ordained in 1955, he began his career with a curacy in Cape Town and held a number of pastoral posts in the area before becoming a suffragan bishop of the diocese in 1972.
Eleven years later he was translated to Kimberley and Kuruman, in 1983, where he remained until retirement, in 1991.
Bishop Swartz originated a link between Kimberley and Kuruman and the Diocese of Atlanta in the United States of America, and on 5 June 1984 he was awarded Freedom of the City of Compton.[3]
He died in retirement in Cape Town on New Year's Eve 2006.[4]
