The General Assembly of the Free Church last week appointed Dr Thomas Davis as the next Principal of Edinburgh Theological Seminary.
Dr Davis is currently minister at Carloway Free Church on the Isle of Lewis but will remain there until June 2028 when the current Principal, Rev Iver Martin intends to retire.
Between now and 2028, Dr Davis, who holds a PhD in the theology of William Cunningham, will teach some classes in Systematic Theology and while at the same time become acquainted with the various educational processes at the Seminary.
Current Principal, Iver Martin said, “The early appointment of a new “Principal Designate” makes a lot of sense”. Congratulating Dr Davis, Mr Martin further added, “I have known Thomas for many years. He possesses all of the requisite academic and administrative gifts to be ETS Principal. I’m confident that he will be an excellent fit and provide the kind of leadership that will maintain the important role that ETS plays in reformed theological education.”
