Clem Davies and the Anglo-Saxon Movement

Clem Davies was a white supremacist and public supporter of the Ku Klux Klan from Victoria, British Columbia, Canada. He earned his fame in Victoria, BC, in the early 1920s as pastor of the Centennial Church, and in the 1920s, he was quite popular. His sermons were unlike that of other preachers of the time, making his sermons appealing to those who were tired of the traditional sermon. Similar to William Branham’s “Message” doctrine, Clem Davies’ version of Christianity was militant and against organized religion. Davies became so popular using this strategy that his congregation grew until it filled the Victoria City Temple.

In the Victoria City Temple, his sermons continued to stray even further from the ordinary. They began to include discussions on sex, race, and bloodline. It also included the fundamental elements of his Christian Identity doctrine, which appears to be closely aligned with or the foundation for William Branham’s “Serpent Seed” doctrine.

Clem Davies’ sermons had to be censored, and at times, children under 16 were forbidden. Davies was deeply involved with White Supremacy and the Ku Klux Klan, and the Klan agenda made its way into his sermons. In 1924, he threatened that the Ku Klux Klan would become militant if the "Oriental problem" was not stopped. In 1925, he began preaching about joining the Ku Klux Klan, apparently holding membership drives.

Along with being a Klansman, Clem Davies was a prominent British Israel preacher. He was a lecturer on British-Israelism, which gained an even more diverse crowd. Rev. Gordon Lindsay, Branham's campaign manager, was active in Davies' British-Israelism.
