by 23 July 2021 Jenny Humphreys writes: BISHOP John Osmers was born in New Zealand in 1935. In 1958, inspired by Trevor Huddleston’s book Naught for your Comfort, he motorcycled through South Africa to learn about the apartheid system, and was encouraged by Fr Huddleston to offer himself for the priesthood. He was trained at the College of the Resurrection, Mirfield, and served his title in Rawmarsh, near Huddersfield. In 1965, he went to Lesotho, a small mountain kingdom enclosed by South Africa. His first parish of Quthing had one tiny church; after eight years he was responsible for 70 congregations, many of which could be reached only on horseback.
