Ronald Owen Hall was the seventh Bishop of the Diocese of Victoria and of the Guangdong-Hong Kong diocese, in office from 1932 to 1966. The province's official history records that his appointment was the first to be confirmed by the house of bishops of the Chung Hua Sheng Kung Hui; that in 1944 he ordained a woman priest, whom the page describes as the first in the Anglican Communion; and that the Hong Kong-Macau diocese was established and separated from the Chung Hua Sheng Kung Hui in 1951, during his episcopate. The official pages do not state his years of birth or death.

What is not on this page

  • The Chinese occupation and notable works are recorded in Chinese only; this page does not machine-translate them. They appear on the Chinese entry for 何明華.

  • Directory entries that carry only a name and a title in the official register have no English biography and therefore no English page.
