David Bentley (Bishop of Barbados)
- David Bentley (Bishop of Barbados)
-
David Williams Bentley (1882–1970) was the 7th Bishop of Barbados [1]. Educated at the University of Cambridge, the University of London and St Cuthbert's Society in the University of Durham[2], he was ordained Deacon in 1906 and Priest a year later.
His first posts were curacies in Barrow and Bethnal Green followed by a spell as Vicar of St James Plaistow[3].
At St Cuthbert's Society, where he served as President in 1910, he established a reputation as a scholar, a dedicated oarsman and a committed and proselytising socialist, having acquired his socialism in the slums of Barrow-in-Furness while serving as curate.[4].
In 1917 he emigrated to the Caribbean where he was Warden of St Peter’s College, Jamaica[5] until his elevation to the Episcopate [6].
“A forceful and lovely preacher, Dr Bentley always received a warm welcome at all the Parishes which he visited...”[7].
