The Right Revd Anthony John Carr DD, OSL, FRCNBishop of the Order of St. LeonardBishop of Wroxall Abbey 2010 - 2019Introduction to the life of Anthony Anthony was born into a nominally Christian home in 1932. He attended school during the war without any spectacular academic record. He left at 14 years to become an apprentice jig and tool maker. Dismissed because he registered as a conscientious objector he entered nurse training at eighteen. Two years previously he became a Christian and said that this experience transformed his life. Knowing the calling of God to nursing he qualified as a Registered Nurse in 1954.
Anthony has two other brothers, both in the Christian ministry. Revd. Dr. Michael Westwood Carr is senior minister of the Harrow International Christian Centre while the Rt Revd. Dr. David Edward Carr is the senior minister of the Renewal Christian Centre Solihull and Bishop/Abbot of the Archdiocese of Wroxall Abbey Warwickshire and the Order of St. Leonard.
