Richard Rutt Books
Cecil Richard Rutt was an English Roman Catholic priest and a former Anglican bishop. He dedicated nearly twenty years of his life as an Anglican missionary in South Korea, a nation he grew to deeply cherish.

After retiring as an Anglican bishop, he was received into the Roman Catholic Church and ordained a priest.
