David Willfred Michael Jennings AKC (born 13 July 1944) was the Anglican Bishop of Warrington from 2000 until he resigned with effect from 31 October 2009.
Jennings was educated at Radley College and trained for the priesthood at King's College London before embarking on a curacy at Walton-on-the-Hill, Liverpool.
Jennings was made a deacon at Trinity 1967 (21 May) by Laurie Brown, Bishop of Warrington, at St Nicholas, Blundellsands and ordained a priest at Michaelmas 1968 (29 September) by Stuart Blanch, Bishop of Liverpool, at Liverpool Cathedral.
After a further curacy at Christchurch Priory he became an incumbent at Hythe in 1969. Further pastoral posts led to appointments as the Rural Dean of Havering in 1985 and as Archdeacon of Southend in 1992. He was ordained to the episcopate in 2000. An inspirational preacher, he is also a member of the Court of Liverpool University.
