George Thomas William Davison (born April 1965) is a priest of the Church of Ireland.[1] Since 2020, he has served as the Bishop of Connor.
Davison was born in April 1965,[2] and grew up in south Belfast, Northern Ireland.[3] He was studied theology at the University of St Andrews, graduating with a Bachelor of Divinity (BD) degree in 1988.[4] He then attended Oak Hill College, a conservative evangelical theological college in London, and the Church of Ireland Theological College in Dublin. He graduated from the latter with a Bachelor of Theology (BTh) degree in 1992.
He was ordained as a deacon in 1992 and priest in 1993. After a curacy at Portadown he was the incumbent at Kinawley from 1995 to 2009; and Archdeacon of Kilmore from 2003 to 2009. Since 2009 he has been at St. Nicholas, Carrickfergus; and from 2013 Archdeacon of Belfast.[5]
On 17 February 2020, Davison was elected as the next Bishop of Connor.[6] He was consecrated a bishop on 3 September 2020 at St Patrick's Cathedral, Armagh, during a service conducted under Covid-19 restrictions: the congregation numbered less than thirty.[7] He was consecrated John McDowell, Archbishop of Armagh, and the co-consecrators were Pat Storey and Andrew Forster.
