Christopher Chavasse
[11] He was nominated Bishop of Rochester on 19 March 1940, consecrated on 25 April the same year, and served in that position until his resignation on 30 September 1960.[1] In 1948, a sermon given by Chavasse about Belshazzar's Feast was featured as a religious short film produced by J. Arthur Rank.[13][14][15] In accordance with his hope for mass evangelisation, in 1955, Chavasse supported the Crusade of Billy Graham at Harringay Arena.His citation, published in the London Gazette dating 25 August 1917, read:[21] For conspicuous gallantry and devotion to duty.No danger appeared to be too great for him to face, and he inspired others to greater effort by his splendid example.He was also awarded the Croix de Guerre (1914–1918) by the Republic of France "for distinguished services rendered during the course of the campaign".[23] In the 1936 King's Birthday Honours, he was appointed Officer of the Order of the British Empire (OBE) in its Military Division.
