Arthur Chandler (1859โ1939) was
until 1920.Born on 25 March 1859, he was the son of the Rev. J. Chandler of
and arrived at his see shortly thereafter.In November 1901 he received the honorary degree Doctor of Divinity from the University of Oxford.[8]
In 1931 he proposed changing the order of the Holy Communion service so that the prayer of oblation followed immediately after the consecration and was then followed by the Lord's Prayer (corresponding to the order in the Book of Common Prayer (1549)). The proposal aroused some support and some opposition and was adopted in some churches though it never received episcopal approval; its provisional nature was the reason for terming it the "Interim" rite.[9] In 1934 he was President of the Church Union.[10] St George's, Hanover Square, London, was one of the churches using the Interim rite.[11]
Chandler retired to Petersfield, where he died on 5 November 1939.[12] He was unmarried.
