C. Joyce, formerly Bishop of Monmouth | newspaper = The Times | location = London, England | date = 23 July 1942 | page = 7 | via = The Times Digital Archive 1785–2008 }} was a university educator and [Bishop of Monmouth](/source/Bishop_of_Monmouth). He was educated at [Harrow School](/source/Harrow_School), and [Brasenose College, Oxford](/source/Brasenose_College%2C_Oxford). He took his [BA](/source/Bachelor_of_Arts) in 1888, [MA](/source/Master_of_Arts) in 1892, [BD](/source/Bachelor_of_Divinity) in 1904, and [DD](/source/Doctor_of_Divinity) in 1909. After studying briefly in [Germany](/source/Germany) he was ordained [deacon](/source/deacon) in 1892 by [Bishop Lewis](/source/Richard_Lewis_(bishop_of_Llandaff)) of [Llandaff](/source/Llandaff), and was sub-warden of St Michael's College, Aberdare, from 1892 to 1896, receiving [priest's orders](/source/holy_orders) in 1893. From 1897 to 1916 he was Warden of [St Deiniol's Library](/source/St_Deiniol's_Library), [Hawarden](/source/Hawarden), and in 1916, he was made principal of St David's College, now the [University of Wales, Lampeter](/source/University_of_Wales%2C_Lampeter). The college at Lampeter was founded in 1822 as a theological college, but had, by 1916, liberalised its admissions policy and curriculum. Joyce, due to his own background in the clergy, wanted the college to return to its theological roots. He advocated an abandonment of the college charter which allowed it to award [Bachelor of Arts](/source/Bachelor_of_Arts) degrees, but the college board voted down the proposals. As a result, Joyce resigned from his post as principal. After his departure from Lampeter in 1923, Joyce became in 1927 [Archdeacon of St David's](/source/Archdeacon_of_St_David's), and then succeeded Charles Green as Bishop of Monmouth on 30 November 1928.[http://www.churchinwales.org.uk/monmouth/people/cathedral/BishopJoyce.html Diocese of Monmouth] {{webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120219035207/http://www.churchinwales.org.uk/monmouth/people/cathedral/BishopJoyce.html |date=19 February 2012 }}, churchinwales.org.uk, accessed February 2012 Joyce took a leading part in the life of the [Church in Wales](/source/Church_in_Wales), and his counsel was also eagerly sought in educational movements. He was Pro-Chancellor of the [University of Wales](/source/University_of_Wales) (which conferred on him the honorary degree of LL.D. in 1937) from 1934 to 1941, and President of the Welsh National School of Medicine from 1931 to 1937. ==References== {{reflist}} {{s-start}} {{s-aca}} {{s-bef|before=[Llewellyn John Montfort Bebb](/source/Llewellyn_John_Montfort_Bebb)}} {{s-ttl|title=[Principal of St David's College](/source/Vice-Chancellor_of_the_University_of_Wales%2C_Lampeter)|years=1916–1923}} {{s-aft|after=[Maurice Jones](/source/Maurice_Jones_(principal))}} {{s-rel|wa}} {{s-bef|before=[Charles Alfred Howell Green](/source/Charles_Alfred_Howell_Green)}} {{s-ttl|title=[Bishop of Monmouth](/source/Bishop_of_Monmouth)|years=1928–1940}} {{s-aft|after=[Alfred Edwin Monahan](/source/Alfred_Edwin_Monahan)}} {{s-end}} {{Bishops of Monmouth}} {{Principals of St David's College}} {{authority control}} {{DEFAULTSORT:Joyce, Gilbert Cunningham}} Category:1866 births Category:1942 deaths Category:Bishops of Monmouth Category:Alumni of Brasenose College, Oxford Category:People educated at Harrow School Category:People associated with the University of Wales, Lampeter Category:20th-century bishops of the Church in Wales Category:Archdeacons of St Davids Category:Principals of St David's College --- Adapted from the Wikipedia article [Gilbert Joyce](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gilbert_Joyce) by Wikipedia contributors ([contributor history](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gilbert_Joyce?action=history)).
