Biography

Sargent was born near London,[2] and educated at Watford Grammar School for Boys, King's College, Cambridge[3] and the London College of Divinity; and ordained in 1932. His first post was as Curate at Willian, Hertfordshire.[4] Subsequently, he embarked on a long spell as a missionary[5] in Sichuan Province[6] at West China Union University,[7] where he worked as a lecturer. During his stay in Sichuan, he became chaplain to Bishop C. T. Song and assistant secretary for the Church Missionary Society.[2] In 1942 he married Imogene Ward, the daughter of American Methodist missionaries. From 1947 to 1948 he studied at Union Theological Seminary, New York.[2] From 1961 until 1962 he was principal of the Church Missionary Society[8] when he was elevated to the episcopate,[9] a post he held until his retirement to York. He was ordained into bishop's orders on St James's Day 1962 (25 July), by Donald Coggan, Archbishop of York, at York Minster.[10]
