Edward (Ted) Donnelly passed away on 4 March 2023 after a long illness.

The Christian Institute writes: ‘He was the minister of Trinity Reformed Presbyterian Church (RPC) in Newtownabbey, Northern Ireland, for the best part of four decades until his retirement in 2011. He had also served pastorates in Dervock and Portrush, Co. Antrim, and with a Greek-speaking church in Cyprus. He and his family were among the UK citizens evacuated from Cyprus at the time of the Turkish invasion.

‘A Professor of New Testament Languages and literature at the Reformed Theological College in Belfast, Ted Donnelly also served as its Principal. He studied at Queen’s University and Reformed Presbyterian Theological Hall in Belfast, Pittsburgh Reformed Presbyterian Seminary, and Union College – again in Belfast. In 2013 he was awarded an honorary Doctorate in Divinity by Geneva College, Pennsylvania.
