The Rev’d Dr. Dawn Davis is Assistant Professor of Contextual Theology
and Director of Leadership for Ministry Programs at Huron University
College. She's an experienced Anglican priest with professional human
resources certification, specializing in training and development, and
organizational behaviour. Dawn also holds a doctorate in ministry in
spiritual formation. Dawn previously served as Faith Formation
Coordinator for the Diocese of Niagara. Dawn has a passion for inspiring
and growing faith and confidence among lay leaders. She recently co-edited a book with Matthew Floding
called Experience: Spiritual Formation in Theological Education. She authored the Revive Program through
RenewalWorks, a ministry of Forward Movement, to help parishes facilitate growth in spiritual vitality. Revive is
an international Program developed by Dr. Davis whereby lay leaders will join their ordained minister in a safe,
small-group setting, where they will gain confidence in praying, understanding scripture and developing their
sense of call. Those completing the program will be able to share their spiritual experiences and grow in
intimacy with God as a followers of Jesus. The Diocese of Huron is working to offer Revive to Congregational
Coaches and Lay Leaders across the diocese and we hope to make St. Paul’s the epicentre of this effort. Dawn
is excited to be joining the team here. We see the Faith Formation Director assisting in forming the community
of disciples, helping foster a climate where our parishioners can spiritually flourish. The Faith Formation
Director will advise and assist the Rector (when available) in offering Adult Christian Education events. Dawn
and the Dean will also explore opportunities for growth between St. Paul’s Cathedral and Huron University
College.
