David Rushworth-Smith

Historian, Researcher, Columnist & Film-Maker

Historian

     Those who have sat and had a long discussion with David, on any subject, have quickly realised that he has a fascinating grasp of history.  He gives the impression of seeing the past in the present, in a unique way.  This is why his smaller meetings have been the most rewarding for those present.  Although his official reading of history ceased when he left Bible college, it has continued in his spare time.  As a result, his book about the history of The Holy Land is special.

     David has spent many hours in the big British libraries, including the prestigious British Library in London.  The result of all this research has meant that conversations with him are full of facts, and his sermons are replete with information. David has also done research for some historical biographies, both for himself, and for others.  It would be a pity if his last years were spoiled by a loss of memory, since he has filled his brain with so much helpful information.

Columnist

     In his time, David has written columns for both weekly and monthly newspapers, as well as writing articles for various magazines and newspapers.  All this on top of the other things that he has done!  His columns attracted the attention of the media, and so he has often spoken on radio and appeared on television – even giving the evening ‘epilogue’ at the close of TV viewing.

Photographer and Film-maker

     Since he was ten years of age, David has been taking photographs.  Since he was thirty years old, he has been making movies.  As a result, he has a huge collection of photographs, and boxes of rolls of film.  With all the changes now taking place in the photographic world, as well as the film industry, David has moved on to digital equipment.  This means that some of his films are now available in DVD format, as well as VHS.
