Rt Revd Peter Nott wrote of him:
"Whenever people talked of Edmund Morgan, the adjective "saintly" soon featured in the conversation. Although his career looked privileged - Winchester, New College, Bishop's Chaplain, Archdeacon, Suffragan Bishop of Southampton, then Bishop of Truro, Edmund Morgan was an essentially humble and rather shy man. He deplored ambition in a priest, and never sought the limelight. For example, he never wrote with an eye to publicity: his seven books were simply fruits of personal reflection on a variety of themes. Losing two sons in the war, he experienced suffering in its sharpest form and a mark of his pastoral sensitivity was his communication with the bereave. He epitomised that godliness and good learning which is the essence of episcopacy at its best."
