William P. Roberts (bishop)

William Payne Roberts (Chinese: 罗培德) was an American missionary to China. Roberts was consecrated in Shanghai on November 30, 1937 as "Bishop with jurisdiction in the Diocese of Kiangsu of the Chinese Holy Catholic Church (Missionary District of Shanghai)". He succeeded Frederick Rogers Graves.

He attended Yale College, graduating B.A. in 1909 before studying for the B.D. at Episcopal Theological School in Cambridge, Massachusetts. Roberts taught at Saint John's University, Shanghai from his arrival in China in 1914 until 1920. From 1923 until his consecration as bishop, he served as priest at St. Paul's Church, Nanking. He was nominated for consecration by the General Synod of the Chung Hua Sheng Kung Hui at Foochow in April, 1937. His consecration was attended by Bishop John of Shanghai and San Francisco with a delegation of five Russian Orthodox priests.

Roberts retired on April 12, 1950; he was the last American bishop consecrated to work in the Chung Hua Sheng Kung Hui.

gollark: Generally people will probably read a quick summary or something at most.
gollark: I have seen that neat GPT-3 codegen video, but I find some of the GPT-3-related claims somewhat dubious since access to it seems very closed-off right now (ironic for "OpenAI").
gollark: You can just use sub/superscripts and Unicode arrows/other symbols, no?
gollark: I probably would just recommend Node.js or Python though, they're fairly easy to work with and have large ecosystems for web things.
gollark: Rust is neat and has decent web frameworks, but being a compiled strongly typed language is somewhat slower/more annoying to work with than Node/Python/whatever. And some of the stuff is still quite in flux.
