Clem Davies (minister)

Clement Llewellyn Davies (1889 – 1951) was a Canadian British-Israel preacher. Davies was a dominant personality and a skilled marketer who drew large crowds to his preaching. He was pastor of Centennial Methodist Church, followed by Victoria City Temple and "Dr. Clem Davies' Ministry, Inc." in Victoria, British Columbia. Davies was an early adopter of radio in British Columbia, operating an unlicensed amateur station for his ministry, and combined this with his other marketing to draw crowds to his preaching. He later moved his ministry operations to Los Angeles where he was associated with Gerald L. K. Smith. During the 1940s, he traveled the country along with Avak Hagopian, a faith healer, drawing large crowds.
