David Frank Andrews (born 20 May 1951) is an Australian Christian anarchist author, speaker, social activist, community worker, and a founder of the Waiters' Union, an inner city Christian community network working with Aboriginals, refugees and people with disabilities in Brisbane, Australia.[1] In India at the time of Indira Gandhi's 1984 assassination, he helped protect Sikhs from the backlash through non-violent intervention. Andrews and his wife were forced to leave that year.[1][2]

Andrew works to advance Christian-Muslim relations, quotes Islamic leaders,[3] and counts many Muslims as colleagues. He released a statement of regret when Maulana Wahiduddin Khan died in Delhi in April 2021 of COVID-19.[4]
