Throughout that period, particularly as Rector of Seagoe Parish Church in
Portadown, he attempted to develop ways in which churches could
challenge the sectarianism which powerfully influenced communities and
churches in Northern Ireland. During that time, he also served successively
as Dean and Archdeacon of Dromore.
Throughout his ministry, Bishop David has given a high priority to
communication. He is a regular broadcaster and for over ten years has
written a blog at www.bishopdavid.net
In announcing his retirement, Bishop David said: “it has been an immense
privilege for me to exercise the interwoven ministries of bishop and Primus.
The Scottish Episcopal Church has with increasing confidence been
developing its mission and taking its place in the evolving story of Scotland.
“As the process for the election of my successor begins – and as God’s
unfolding future for our church is revealed – I shall continue to hold this
church and its leadership in my prayers.”
