Bob Morgan (priest)

Morgan was born on 28 October 1928 and grew up in Tremorfa, Cardiff, until the Second World War forced his family to evacuate to Aberdare where he went to the local grammar school. After the war he returned to Cardiff and, after spending National Service in the RAF, got a job as an insurance clerk. ==Career==

In 1961 Morgan became curate on the large Cardiff housing estate of Ely. He became vicar of the Ely parish (which had been formed by the Mirfield Community of the Resurrection) in 1967. He raised £10,000 to repair the Church of the Resurrection and established himself as a central figure in the area. The Church of the Resurrection became a community centre and refuge for the locals. It held a weekly disco in the church hall. He became an honorary canon of Llandaff Cathedral in the same year. ==Retirement and death==

Morgan retired to live in St Davids, Pembrokeshire. ==References==
