I hate being asked to ‘write a brief bio’ for a publication or event. However, I’m regularly asked for it. Here’s the latest – for an article I’ve written for an American publication:

Rowland Croucher is a Baptist pastor/counselor who resides in Australia. After pastoring churches – small and large – in Australia and British Columbia, Canada, and pursuing a Doctor of Ministry degree at Fuller Seminary, Pasadena, he began a ministry-at-large with pastors and churches in Australia and in many other countries. He is currently director of John Mark Ministries, focussing particularly on the fifty percent of clergy who leave parish ministry for various reasons. (He says there are 12,000 of these ‘mostly wounded warriors’ in his native country of Australia alone – and they generally feel they’ve ‘fallen into a black hole’). The John Mark Ministries website is one of the three largest in Australia, with over 10,000 hits a day. Email: . Website: http://jmm.aaa.net.au
