David Richard Davies (1889 – 1 November 1958) was Christian minister and writer.[1]
His father was a coal miner, an occupation he followed until he became a Free Church minister. Upon the outbreak of the 1926 General Strike, Davies ceased to be a minister and became a political activist and journalist. He was also a combatant in the Spanish Civil War.[1]
After the publication of his theological work, On To Orthodoxy, Davies was ordained as an Anglican priest in 1940 by the Archbishop of York, William Temple.[1]
