Bishop Davies injured in accident

The Archbishop has announced that Dr Glenn Davies, Bishop of North Sydney, had an accident last Saturday morning while working in the grounds of his home in the Blue Mountains.

Heavy branches of a tree fell and hit him on the head. He was taken to the Nepean Hospital, where he has spent the last few days.

He had a head injury and has heavy bruising and stitches to his face.

Bishop Davies will be away from work for the next two weeks at least.

"We should pray for the swift recovery of Glenn Davies, and give thanks to God that there appears, at this stage, to be no lasting damage from the accident. We must pray also for Mrs Dianne Davies and her family as they care for Glenn over his recovery period," Archbishop Jensen said.

"Since this is a somewhat stressful time for the Davies family, we think it best that enquiries about the Bishop's health should not be asked of Mrs Davies, but that those concerned for him should contact either Archdeacon Terry Dein, or Dr Davies' Personal Assistant, Ms Ros Allibone," the Archbishop said.
