As recently as the 1940s, there was only one bishop responsible for the work of the Anglican Church in almost the entire South American continent.Clearly, an area this large required somebody truly remarkable to lead the churches in it. The Rt Revd Jack Weller was a remarkable man. Here, his nephew tells the story of his life as a bishop in South America and his later work in England, with extracts from Jack's own diaries and writings giving an insight into the mind of the "Flying Bishop".

There's no doubt that Charles has had an interesting life. Born in England during the Depression, he experienced the Blitz on London, the Flying Bombs, and then the V2 rockets. From the age of sixteen Charles spent the next 24 years travelling the world aboard British, New Zealand, Fijian, and Australian ships, then settled ashore in Melbourne to start his own packaging business. He was later asked to work with the U.N. in Jordan, based in Amman for some time. On his return to Melbourne, he was appointed CEO for the continued restoration of the award winning sailing ship Polly Woodside, now the pride of our City. Whilst there, Charles initiated the construction of the ship "Enterprize" replica. Finally, he used his knowledge as a navigator to excite over 800,000 Victorian school children with the basics of Science and Astronomy. Charles decided to retire after teaching for 23 years, at the tender age of 82. It is quite a Lifetime. It is quite a story !
