Well Done, Thou Good and Faithful Servant
The Anglican Province of Christ the King regrets to announce that Archbishop John Exley Upham went home to his blessed Saviour on the Thursday after Ash Wednesday, February twenty-third, in the year of Our Lord two thousand and twenty three.
Archbishop Upham put up a valiant fight against the ravages of cancer and diabetes for a year and a half and died peacefully at his home at approximately 9:15 p.m. with his wife Madge at his side.
Archbishop Upham’s legacy will be that of a loving shepherd who transformed the Council of Bishops into a functioning body. He was a loving pastor and was visited by many of his parish family when he was in hospice. Bishop Upham was a trained musician (very accomplished) with a Master of Divinity degree from Duke University.
The Lying in State, Visitation, Funeral and Burial took place on Wednesday and Thursday, March first and second.
Rest eternal grant unto him O Lord,
And may light perpetual shine upon him.
May he rest in peace.
