| Administrative History | Archibald Shaw (1879-1956) began his missionary career in 1905 when he was posted to Bor in the Sudan. Together with John Comely, Edmund Lloyd, Frank Hadow, Arthur Thom and R.C. Wilmot he was part of the pioneering party of missionaries to the Sudan in 1906 and two years later was the only one of the party still working there. Between 1908 and 1936 he was based at Malek and was appointed Archdeacon of Southern Provinces of Anglo-Egyptian Sudan in 1922, a post he held until his retirement in 1937. In 1940 he was appointed Archdeacon Emeritus by Bishop Gwynne. He died in Kenya in 1956.
