New principal for Edinburgh Theological Seminary

Thomas Davis

The General Assembly of the Free Church of Scotland has appointed Dr Thomas Davis as the next Principal of the Edinburgh Theological Seminary (ETS).

Dr Davis will begin his new role in June 2028 upon the retirement of the current principal, Revd Iver Martin. Until then, he will teach some classes in Systematic Theology.

Dr Davis, who holds a PhD in the theology of William Cunningham, is currently minister at Carloway Free Church on the Isle of Lewis.

Current Principal Iver Martin said, “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.”
