About Ross Davies

Born 1955.

Ross Owen Davies (born 4 February 1955) is an Australian former Anglican bishop. He was the bishop of the Diocese of The Murray in the Anglican Church of Australia from 2002 to 2010.

Davies was educated at the University of Melbourne (BA 1977, LLB 1979) and St Barnabas College, Adelaide (Australian College of Theology, ThL 1981). He served in parishes in Australia until 1991, the last of which was as rector of St Paul's, Camperdown. He was then priest-in-charge of Mundford, Ickburgh and Cranwich (1991–94) and then curate of Somerton with Compton Dundon (1994–97). He was subsequently removed from holy orders on 13 December 2010, only the second bishop to be so removed.

Davies had belonged to the traditionalist Anglo-Catholic wing of Anglicanism. On 27 September 2010, three days after resigning as the Bishop of The Murray, he was received into the Roman Catholic Church as a layman by Philip Wilson, the Roman Catholic Archbishop of Adelaide.
