Timothy Bavin
Timothy John Bavin OSB FRSCM (born 17 September 1935) is a British Anglican bishop and monk.[4] He was the first Chaplain of St. Alban's College, Pretoria, then a curate at Uckfield with Little Horsted and finally Vicar of the Parish of the Good Shepherd, Brighton from 1971 to 1973.[4] In 1973 Bavin became the dean and rector of the cathedral parish of Johannesburg as well as archdeacon of the diocese[4] and, in 1974 at a turbulent period in that country's history, its bishop,[6] a position[7] he was to hold until 1985.[13] As a result, Bavin has curtailed his involvement in the Athenaeum and the Royal Yacht Squadron, although he does occasionally preach at other Christian places of worship.[16] Timothy Bavin had also allowed a convicted child sex offender priest called Father Michael Gover to carry on working for the church on his release in 1990.
