Ronald Hall
Ronald Owen Hall, CMG MC & Bar, known in Chinese as 何明華 (Mandarin Chinese: He Minghua; Cantonese: Ho Ming Wah) was an Anglican missionary bishop in Hong Kong and China in the mid 20th century. As an emergency measure during the Second World War, with China under Japanese occupation, he ordained Li Tim-Oi as the first woman priest in the Anglican Communion
Hall had just finished his schooling when the First World War broke out, during which he served as an infantry and staff officer. He was decorated with the Military Cross and Bar, and rose to the rank of major. After the war he took a shortened degree course at the University of Oxford, and made his first visit to China for a student Christian conference in 1922. After a period as a parish priest in his native Newcastle, he became Bishop of Victoria, Hong Kong in 1932, remaining in Hong Kong until his retirement in 1966. He and his wife then settled in Oxfordshire.
==Early life and war service==
Hall was born on 22 July 1895 in Newcastle, England, the second child (and eldest son) of an Anglican clergyman, Cecil Gallopine Hall, who was then Curate of St Andrew's Newcastle, and his wife Constance Gertrude (née Upcher, herself the daughter of another clergyman).〔 Hall was educated at the Royal Grammar School, Newcastle, and Bromsgrove School.〔〔''Who was Who 1897–1990'' London, A & C Black 1991 ISBN 0-7136-3457-X〕 With the outbreak of the First World War, he joined the Northumberland Fusiliers.
