Early life and education
Porteus was born on August 10, 1917, in Hartford, Connecticut. In 1941 he graduated with a B.A. in History and Government from Bates College. Later he studied theology at the Episcopal Theological School from where he graduated with a Bachelor of Sacred Theology in 1943.

Bishop
Porteus was elected Suffragan Bishop of Connecticut in 1971 and was consecrated on October 13, 1971 by Presiding Bishop John E.
