Timeline

1919

Rutt married Joan Ford (3 April 1919 – 17 September 2007) in Hong Kong in May 1969.

He was a bard of the Cornish Gorseth.

His Korean name was Tae-yŏng No.

1925

Cecil Richard Rutt CBE (27 August 1925 – 27 July 2011) was an English Roman Catholic priest and a former Anglican bishop.

Rutt spent almost 20 years of his life serving as an Anglican missionary in South Korea, a country for which he developed a deep affection.

He, like other scholar-missionaries such as James Scarth Gale, Homer B. Hulbert, George Heber Jones, and Anglican bishop Mark Napier Trollope, made significant contributions to Korean studies.

1951

Rutt was made deacon as Michaelmas (29 September) 1951 and ordained priest on St Matthew's Day (21 September) 1952 — both times by Edward Wynn, Bishop of Ely, at Ely Cathedral.

1954

After a curacy at St George's Cambridge he went to South Korea as a missionary in 1954 together with Roger Tennant.

While in Korea, from 1954 to 1974, Rutt studied in great depth the language, culture and history of Korea, as well as Classical Chinese.

1965

In 1965 he was appointed Archdeacon of West Seoul.

1966

In June 1966 he was appointed an assistant bishop of the Diocese of Daejeon by Michael Ramsey, Archbishop of Canterbury; he was consecrated a bishop on 28 October 1966 (the Feast of SS Simon and Jude).

1968

In February 1968, his appointment as diocesan Bishop of Daejeon was announced.

1972

One of his notable works of scholarship, apart from his translations, was his annotated edition (RASKB, 1972 / 1983) of the History of the Korean People by James Scarth Gale (first published in 1927) which includes a researched biography of the author.

1973

He was named a Commander of the Order of the British Empire in 1973.

Feeling that the time had come for Koreans to take charge of their portion of the Anglican Communion, in 1973 Rutt offered his resignation as Bishop of Daejeon, intending to continue serving as a simple parish priest in the country he had come to love so much.

1974

That proved to be impossible and in January 1974 he was appointed suffragan bishop of the Church of England's Diocese of Truro with the title Bishop of St Germans; He took up that post on Ascension Day (23 May) 1974; while in Cornwall he learned the Cornish language to celebrate weddings in Cornish.

He was an active member of the Royal Asiatic Society Korea Branch, serving on the council, overseeing its publications and serving as its president in 1974.

He published six scholarly papers in the RASKB's journal, Transactions, most of which reveal his deep knowledge of the Classical Chinese used in pre-modern Korea.

His deep affection for the traditional culture of Korea, which had in fact almost ceased to exist by the time he arrived, was particularly expressed in his very popular volume, Korean Works and Days: Notes from the Diary of a Country Priest.

1978

Rutt was involved with the Knitting & Crochet Guild since its inception in 1978 and was its president at the time of his death.

1979

In 1982 Rutt, who was always strongly inclined to Anglo-Catholicism, voted against the unity covenant with the Methodist, Moravian and United Reformed churches.

1985

In July 1985 he was introduced into the House of Lords.

1987

He died in his 87th year at Treliske Hospital, Truro.

He was a member of both the Association of Korean Studies in Europe (AKSE) founded by William E. Skillend of SOAS and the British Association for Korean Studies (BAKS).
