Davies in 1963

... that ten years after publishing a book about Great South African Christians, Horton Davies (pictured) gave a speech criticizing South African churches for their role in Apartheid? Source: Great South African Christians, Oxford University Press, 1951 (verifying the book was published in 1951), in "Horton (Marlais) Davies", in Gale Literature: Contemporary Authors (September 28, 2005); Speaking on "The Church in South Africa: a Warning." and Clearly the churches and the synagogues must take some responsibility for the situation as they are the guardian of the nation's conscience," he said ("he" being Horton Davies, verifying his criticism of South African churches in 1961) "Church Role in S. Africa Outlined", The Morning Call, May 11, 1961, p. 10
- ALT1: ... that during World War II, Horton Davies (pictured) was minister to a church in "Flying Bomb Alley", a part of London nicknamed for the many bombs dropped on it? Source: During the war Professor Davies underwent what he calls his "baptism of fire" while a minister in the section of London called "Flying Bomb Alley" because it received a record number of bombs per square mile, in "The Clergy in Fiction", Oklahoma City Star, October 30, 1959, p. 6.
- ALT2: ... that Horton Davies (pictured) earned a bachelor's degree after earning a master's degree? Source: Education: University of Edinburgh, M.A., 1937, B.D., 1940, in "Horton (Marlais) Davies", in Gale Literature: Contemporary Authors (September 28, 2005)

- Comment: For clarity on ALT2, Davies probably also earned a different Bachelor's degree (a BA in English, as he's described in a source written by his wife, which I did not cite in the article as being too close to the subject, as having been an English major) before his MA; his BD, or Bachelor in Divinity, though, was earned after his MA, according to Gale Literature.
