Horton Davies (1916-2004), D.D., D.Phil., D. Lit., Edinburgh and Oxford, ministered in London during the war, and founded the Religion Department at Grahamstown, South Africa (1946-1953). Invited, he first returned to Mansfield College, Oxford, to chair its Department of Ecclesiastical History and then to Princeton University's Religion Department until he retired in 1984. The author of some thirty-five books, including the six-volume Worship and Theology in England, for which he was given the prestigious Oxford D.Phil. degree, Dr. Davies started painting in his free moments, a hobby that he took up full time from 1984 to 2004.
