During his time in Kenya, David helped Carlile College to establish a specialist urban mission training programme based in Kibera slum.
David now leads the training ministry of CMS Australia and has recently received his Doctorate in Mission. He is married to Rachel and they have three young adult sons.
Concert: TSO Brass in St David’s Cathedal
TSO Brass in St David’s Cathedral like alchemy, the rich sounds of the TSO Brass and the spacious surrounds of St David’s Cathedral combine to deliver a concert experience of rare and resonant beauty.
From honeyed horns to brilliant trumpets, ceremonial trombones to deep-toned tuba, the TSO Brass present a world of instrumental colours, each one distinct yet perfectly blended when combined as an ensemble.
Includes musicians from the Australian National Academy of Music

Sermon: Lament for the Failure to Disciple. Palm Sunday
Download sermon: here
Preached by Richard Humphrey on Sunday, March 25th, 2018
A part of the Lament Lent 2018 series.
On Palm Sunday we hear the the reading of Jesus’ crucifixion and death. As surely as nails pierced Jesus hands and feet it should pierce our hearts and minds as we reflect on our failure to be disciples of this Jesus and to make disciples of Jesus.
The way of the cross may seem foolish, but it foolish for us to depart from it.
The text is here here.
Service: Choral Evensong
Service: Easter 2018 Foolish?
Easter in 2018 falls on April Fools’ day. Some may think this appropriate as the Easter message can seem like deep foolishness, a crucified king and talk of a resurrection. Yet for Christians this story is the power and wisdom of God, showing both his very nature and how we are to live.
To not think about such things would be foolish.

Preached by Richard Humphrey on Sunday, March 11th, 2018
A part of the Lament Lent 2018 series.
When it comes to considering indigenous issues in Australia and Tasmania I don’t know what to say.
But perhaps that is the heart of lament.
And perhaps that is the way forward.
