Santer was educated at Marlborough College and Queens’ College, Cambridge before his ordination in 1964.
After being a curate at Church of All Saints, Cuddesdon, he was a tutor at Ripon College Cuddesdon; Dean and Fellow of Clare College, Cambridge; assistant lecturer in divinity at the University of Cambridge and finally Principal of Westcott House, Cambridge before his ordination to the episcopate as area Bishop of Kensington in 1981.
