Biography
Warren was born in Dún Laoghaire in Ireland on 13 August 1904. He was the youngest of three sons and four children. His father was Reverend John Alexander Faris Warren of the Church of Ireland.[1] He spent much of his early life in India with his missionary parents. He travelled to Nigeria as a missionary to the Hausa in 1928, but Ill-health soon forced him to return to the UK. He studied for ordination at Ridley Hall in Cambridge, and then worked as vicar of Holy Trinity, Cambridge from 1936 to 1942.[2]
