Charles Shannon Mallory was the inaugural Bishop of Botswana, consecrated in Gaborone in 1972; and afterwards Bishop of El Camino Real. C. Shannon Mallory (as he is usually styled) was born in 1936.

Mallory graduated with a BA degree from the University of California in 1958. He proceeded to complete a Sacrae Theologiae Baccalaureus from the General Theological Seminary in New York City in 1961. Ordained deacon in that year by Bishop I.I. Cutis of the United States of America, he became a priest in Damaraland, South West Africa (Namibia) later the same year. Mallory continued academic work and was awarded an MA from Rhodes University, Grahamstown, in 1971.

Following ordination, Mallory served in Damaraland, first as Rector of Tsumeb, until 1962, and subsequently as Director of the Ovamboland Mission, also in South West Africa (Namibia), from 1963 to 1969, serving as Archdeacon of Ovamboland from 1964. He spent two years as Chaplain to the Diocesan School for Girls in Grahamstown, South Africa, from 1970 to 1971, while also pursuing academic objectives, this being followed by a lectureship at Makerere University in Kampala, Uganda, from 1971 to 1972, prior to his election as first Bishop of Botswana.
