Agnes Shaw: 'Bishop Hall is a humane and most understanding man...talking to him is always stimulating. Not only has he an appreciation of the world situation but, from his racy account of some of his Church's difficulties, it was evident that he had his hand firmly on the pulse of African thinking and behaviour.'
