john elbridge hines -lrb- october 3 , 1910 -- july 19 , 1997 -rrb- was a bishop in the episcopal church in the united states .
when he was elected the 22nd presiding bishop in 1965 , at the age of 54 , he was the youngest person to hold that office , which he held until 1974 .
bishop desmond tutu of south africa said hines ' movement to divest church-held assets in that nation played an important role in the demise of apartheid .
