Got a job as a civil servant and was a volunteer teacher in his spare time. Became superintendent of the St Anne's Sunday School in Lambeth.

Rudolf was also involved with the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Children and the League of Nations Union. Ordained as a deacon in 1898 and as a priest in 1907. Died Eastbourne.
