History

Hudson was born in Halifax, West Riding of Yorkshire, England on 29 April 1916[1] to John and Kate. He was enlisted for overseas missionary work with the BMS World Mission and was sent for theological studies to the Regent's Park College, Oxford.[1] He became ordained as a Baptist minister on 6 July 1940[1] and sailed for India the same year.

Hudson first served as a Missionary in Burma and later became Lecturer in New Testament at Serampore College (the only constituent College of the Senate of Serampore College}) from 1941 to 1964[3] along with M. P. John, his colleague who joined the college in 1947. Hudson and John tutored K. David, then pursuing postgraduate studies in Serampore College.[4]

In 1964 Hudson left India and was involved in pastoral roles in England among the Baptist fraternity.[1] In 1997 he received Maundy money from Queen Elizabeth II in Bradford Cathedral, West Yorkshire, England.[1] He was a member[5] of the Society for Biblical Studies in India.
