Born in Chicago on April 26, 1947, he grew up there and is a Roman
Catholic priest in the Archdiocese of Chicago, currently assigned to St.
Benedict parish on the city’s North side. He received his B.A. degree
from Chicago’s Loyola University and M.Div. and S.T.L. degrees from St.
Mary of the Lake Seminary. He was ordained in 1973, authored
"Lazarus Interlude" in 1983, and, in 1993, co-founded The Living Circle,
an interfaith spirituality centre for lesbians, gay men, bisexuals,
transgendered people, and their friends.

Courtney Davis is a native of Celtic country, having been born in South
Wales on All Hallows' Eve a few hours before the great Celtic Festival of
Samhain. From these beginnings it is not surprising that he has gone on
to become one of the most celebrated artists in the field of Celtia. After
a variety of jobs connected to art and design, Davis began creating
Celtic images for the first time in 1977. He self-published his own book
in 1984 and has since been involved with over 52 published books
working with traditional and his own unique Celtic style.
