From 1996 to 2008, he served as the Provincial Assistant Bishop of the Church in Wales.[1] In this role, he ministered to those who could not accept the ordination of women as priests.[2] Early life and educationThomas was born on 22 July 1942 in Bangor, Wales.[3][3] He was educated at Christ College, Brecon, an independent school near Brecon.[3] He studied classics at Keble College, Oxford, graduating with a Bachelor of Arts (BA) degree in 1964: as per tradition, his BA was promoted to a Master of Arts (MA Oxon) degree in 1967.[1][3] In 1964, he entered St Stephen's House, Oxford, an Anglo-Catholic theological college to train for Holy Orders.[1] During this time he also studied theology at Keble College, graduating with a further BA degree in 1966.[1] After further training, he left theological college in 1967 to be ordained.[1] Ordained ministryIn May 1967, Thomas was ordained in the Church in Wales as a deacon by his father Jack Thomas, the then Bishop of Swansea and Brecon.[4] In 1968, he was ordained as a priest by David Bartlett, the then Bishop of St Asaph.[1][4] In the 1970s and 1980s, Thomas worked at St Stephen's House, Oxford, a Church of England theological college. He was Vice-Principal from 1975 to 1979, and Principal from 1982 to 1987.[1] In November 1996, Thomas receives a letter asking him to become the first Provincial Assistant Bishop (PAB) of the Church in Wales; in that role he would provide episcopal oversight to those priests and parishes that could not accept the ordination of women. Having accepted, he was consecrated a bishop on 21 December 1996 during a service at St Asaph Cathedral.[5] He stepped down as PAB and retired from full-time ministry in 2008.[16] Personal lifeOn 1 April 1967, Thomas married Rosemary Christine Calton.[3][4] Together they had two children: one son and one daughter.[3] On 11 May 2017, Thomas died suddenly, having just returned from a holiday; he was aged 74.[6] A Requiem Mass was held for him on 5 June 2017 at St Mary's Priory Church, Abergavenny.[6] References1. ^1 2 3 4 5 6 {{Crockford| surname = Thomas | forenames = David | id = 29990 | accessed = 28 January 2016}} {{authority control}}{{DEFAULTSORT:Thomas, David}}2. ^{{cite web|last1=Thomas|first1=David|title=A Noble Task|url=http://www.churchinwales.org.uk/structure/representative-body/publications/downloads/theology-wales-back-issues/theology-wales-the-ordination-of-women-to-the-episcopate/a-noble-task-bishop-david-thomas/|website=Theology Wales: the Ordination of Women to the Episcopate|accessdate=28 January 2016}} 3. ^1 2 3 {{cite web|title=Thomas, Rt Rev.
