Biography Harding was born in Sheffield, England, in 1936 and migrated with his family to Canada in 1947.

He was educated at The University of Western Ontario and ordained a priest in 1962. He began his ordained ministry in charge of five rural parishes in the Diocese of Fredericton, after which he worked for the Children's Aid Society in a number of roles in Ontario until 1973.

Harding died at 89 in Brandon.
