Biography

Oliver Leland Loring was born in Newtonville, Massachusetts, the son of the Reverend Richard Tuttle Loring and Mary Leland Loring. He was a graduate of Harvard University and the Episcopal Theological School and held honorary doctoral degrees from Bowdoin College and the General Theological Seminary.[1] Loring was ordained deacon in May, 1930 by the Bishop Julius W. Atwood and priest in May 1931 by Henry Knox Sherrill of Massachusetts. He served parishes in New Bedford and Dorchester, Massachusetts.
