==Studies==
===General===
Devapriam pursued graduate([[Madras University|Madras]]),<ref name="Millington"/> and postgraduate([[Madras University|Madras]]),<ref name="Millington"/> degrees from the [[Madras University]],([[Madras University|Madras]]),<ref name="Millington"/> [[Chennai]] and the [[Nagpur University]], [[Nagpur]].

===Spiritual===
Devapriam chose the vocation of [[Priesthood]] and enrolled for [[B. D.]] at the Bishops College,<ref name="George" /> [[Kolkata]] where [[Emani Sambayya]] happened to be one of the [[Spiritual formation|Spiritual Formators]].<ref>Thompson, A.

Before joining as Faculty Member of the [[Andhra Christian Theological College]] in [[Rajahmundry]], Devapriam pursued a postgraduate degree leading to [[Master of Sacred Theology]] specializing in the discipline of [[Systematic theology]] at the [[McCormick Theological Seminary|McCormick]], [[Chicago]].

While teaching at the [[Andhra Christian Theological College]] which by then relocated from [[Rajahmundry]] to [[Secunderabad]], Devapriam sought study leave from the Board of Governors of the College for undergoing further studies<ref name="George" /> on a [[World Council of Churches]] scholarship in 1975<ref name="WCC">[http://archives.oikoumene.org/Query/detail.aspx?ID=86268 World Council of Churches - Theological Education Fund Archive] {{webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110727141850/http://archives.oikoumene.org/Query/detail.aspx?ID=86268 |date=27 July 2011 }}</ref> enrolling at the [[General Theological Seminary]],<ref>[https://books.google.com/books?id=v0MtAQAAMAAJ&q=BR+Devapriam&dq=BR+Devapriam&hl=en&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwj9lMfu4ovPAhVM5WMKHRhyAu4Q6AEIGzAA ''The Episcopal Church Annual'', Morehouse-Barlow, 1976, p.30]</ref> [[New York City]] and rejoined the Protestant Regional Theologiate in [[Secunderabad]] in 1981.<ref name="Punnaiah"/>

==Ministry==
===Teaching===
Devapriam was on the faculty of the Andhra Union Theological College, [[Dornakal]],<ref name="Millington"/> teaching along with [[Eric J. Lott]], [[Church of South India|CSI]], [[Victor Premasagar|P. Victor Premasagar]], [[Church of South India|CSI]] and [[B. E. Devaraj]]. In 1964, efforts were made by some of the Protestant Societies to come together in forming a united theologiate in [[Andhra Pradesh]] and [[Telangana]] comprising the [[Anglicans]], [[Congregationalists]] and the [[English Wesleyan Mission|Wesleyans]] represented through the [[Church of South India]] and the [[Church of North India]], the [[Baptists]] through the [[Convention of Baptist Churches of Northern Circars]] and later on by the [[Samavesam of Telugu Baptist Churches]], the [[Lutherans]] through the [[Andhra Evangelical Lutheran Church]] and the [[South Andhra Lutheran Church]] and the [[Methodists]] through the [[Methodist Church in India]].

The efforts towards coming together of some of the Protestant societies resulted in the formation of the [[Andhra Christian Theological College]] in [[Rajahmundry]] in 1964 which was carved out of four existing century-old seminaries, namely,
* the Andhra Union Theological College, [[Dornakal]],
* the [[Baptist Theological Seminary]], [[Kakinada]],
* the Lutheran Theological College, [[Rajahmundry]],
* the Ramayapatnam Baptist Theological Seminary, [[Ramayapatnam]].

The [[Nandyal Diocese]] which was founded by the [[Society for the Propagation of the Gospel]] (SPG) was one of the founders of the College which was represented on the Faculty through [[B. E. Devaraj]] followed by Ryder Devapriam who joined the College during the 1960s in [[Rajahmundry]] and moved on to [[Secunderabad]] when the College was relocated serving under the [[Old Testament]] Scholars, [[W. D. Coleman]], [[Andhra Evangelical Lutheran Church|AELC]] and followed by [[Victor Premasagar|P. Victor Premasagar]], [[Church of South India|CSI]]. It was during the 1970s that Devapriam went on to pursue doctoral studies in 1975<ref name="WCC"/> and returned in 1981<ref name="Punnaiah"/> by which time the [[New Testament]] Scholar K. David, [[CBCNC]] became the Principal.

During Devapriam's tenure at the College, his co-faculty included [[R. R. Sundara Rao]], [[Andhra Evangelical Lutheran Church|AELC]], [[Gaddala Solomon|G. Solomon]], [[Samavesam of Telugu Baptist Churches|STBC]], [[Muriel Spurgeon Carder]], [[CBCNC]], [[M. Victor Paul]], [[Andhra Evangelical Lutheran Church|AELC]], [[Suppogu Joseph]], [[Samavesam of Telugu Baptist Churches|STBC]], [[G. Devasahayam]], [[Andhra Evangelical Lutheran Church|AELC]], [[Eric J. Lott]], [[Church of South India|CSI]] [[Ravela Joseph]], [[Samavesam of Telugu Baptist Churches|STBC]] and others. Devapriam taught [[Systematic theology]] along with [[Waldo Penner]], [[CBCNC]], one of the co-founders of the College hailing from the [[Convention of Baptist Churches of Northern Circars]] and was joined by [[Regunta Yesurathnam|R. Yesurathnam]], [[Church of South India|CSI]] in 1974.<ref name="Punthi">[[Regunta Yesurathnam|R. Yesurathnam]], ''A Christian Dialogical Theology: The Contribution of [[Swami Abhishiktananda]]'', Punthi Pustak, [[Calcutta]], 2006.[https://books.google.com/books?id=XU7ZAAAAMAAJ&dq=regunta+yesurathnam&hl=en&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwi83cevtsXVAhUFVbwKHdkRDM0Q6AEIJTAA]</ref>

===Pastoral===
The [[Diocese of Nandyal]], founded by the [[Society for the Propagation of the Gospel]] could not join the [[Uniting church]] ([[Church of South India]]) in 1947. During the intervening period, the Diocese was under the care of the [[Church of India, Pakistan, Burma, and Ceylon]] followed by the [[Church of North India]]. Finally, after protracted ecclesiastical conversations, the [[Diocese of Nandyal]] was able to join the [[Church of South India]] only in 1975.<ref name="Millington"/> Devapriam, as a [[Priest]] of the [[Diocese of Nandyal]] had been involved in the ecumenical conversations resulting in the union.<ref name="Millington"/>

In 1985,<ref>[https://books.google.com/books?id=af_YAAAAMAAJ&q=BR+Devapriyam&dq=BR+Devapriyam&hl=en&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwjjjp_l4ovPAhUXzGMKHbahAgcQ6AEIGzAA ''The National Christian Council Review'', Volume 105, 1985, p.645]</ref> Devapriam was consecrated as [[Bishop]] by the Moderator [[Isaiah Jesudason]], [[Church of South India|CSI]] and Deputy Moderator Sundar Clarke, [[Church of South India|CSI]] at the [[Church of South India|CSI]]-Holy Cross Cathedral in [[Nandyal]]. Devapriam was elected as the Moderator of the [[Church of South India Synod]] held in 1992 at the XXIII session held in the [[Diocese of Tirunelveli]] at [[Palayamkottai]].

During Devapriam's bishopric lasting nearly a [[decade]], he attended<ref>''The truth shall make you free: the Lambeth Conference 1988 : the reports, resolutions & pastoral letters from the bishops'', Church House Publishing, 1988, p.261.

==Honours, death and reminisce==

Chilstrom]] of the [[Evangelical Lutheran Church of America]], [[Robert Louis Ladehoff]] of the [[Episcopal Diocese of Oregon]], Helen Brogden Turnbull of the [[Episcopal Church (United States)|Episcopal Church]] and [[Gayraud Wilmore]] of the [[Presbyterian Church (USA)|Presbyterian Church]].

===Death===
Devapriam died on 4 September 1992<ref name="Nandyal"/> during an overseas sojourn to [[Germany]] and within a day he was brought back to [[India]] to [[Hyderabad]] and then taken by road to [[Nandyal]] where he was buried. Then Prime Minister, [[P. V. Narasimha Rao]] who contested the by-election in 1991 from the Nandyal parliamentary constituency was instrumental<ref name="NCCI"/> in the quick passage of the body of Devapriam from [[Germany]] to [[India]].<ref name="NCCI">[https://books.google.com/books?id=MgnZAAAAMAAJ&q=devapriam+nandyal&dq=devapriam+nandyal&hl=en&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwjr1_y_5ovPAhWD4SYKHdOODhwQ6AEIHzAB ''National Council of Churches Review'', Volume 112, 1992, pp.774-775]</ref>

===Reminisce===
Talathoti Punnaiah who studied a 3-year theology course leading to [[Bachelor of Theology]] at the Andhra Christian Theological College, both at [[Rajahmundry]] and at Hyderabad from 1970-1973 recalls his association with Ryder Devapriam,
{{quote|Ryder Devapriam was our English Teacher. He was well educated and had rich experience in administration. He visited me twice in Madras, once before going to the United States of America in 1974 and after returning in 1981. He was more than a teacher to me. I am so grateful for his moral support and love. I was invited to attend his consecration as bishop in Nandyal. He later became Moderator of the Church of South India.<ref name="Punnaiah">Talathoti Punnaiah, ''My Memoir, Ministry and Message: (60 years Life Experiences 1950-2010)'', Kakinada, 2010, p.23.</ref>}}
