About Frank Whittaker
Lived 1894 – 1961 (aged 66). Frank Whittaker was a British and English theologian and priesthood.
Frank Whittaker (born 1894; died 1961 ) was the first Bishop of Medak in the Church of South India. Originally a Methodist, Whittaker became a bishop when several protestant denominations in India merged to form the Church of South India on 27 September 1947.
Previously, Whittaker had been the first head of the Normal Training College in Medak.
Rajaiah David Paul writes that in March 1960, Whittaker resigned as bishop, paving way for Eber Priestley who was appointed on 1 November 1960. That same year Whittaker moved to Dornakal to teach at the Andhra Union Theological College. However, nearly a year later, due to ill-health, Whittaker died in Dornakal on 10 December 1961.
