Everyone welcome to come and hear the wonderful news — Abp-Elect Glenn Davies
Posted on August 8, 2013Filed under Sydney Diocese
Archbishop-Elect Glenn Davies was interviewed by Seven News last night. His key message?
“In our churches we welcome everyone to come and hear the wonderful message of Jesus, because that message will transform your life.”Notably and thankfully, we would add to the above that Mr. Davies has an M.Div. and Th.M. from a Presbyterian Seminary, Westminster Theological Seminary. Also, he holds an earned Doctorate from the University of Sheffield.
