Biography

Sean works in Christian ministry primarily among those many consider to be far removed from many church cultures.

Much of his work is among fringe groups including biker communities and associated groups, where he operates in both a missional and a chaplaincy role - a role which has been hard earned over many years and many miles on the road.

His work has also given him opportunities of speaking in schools and prisons and in a wide variety of mainstream churches throughout the UK and overseas - including Australia, Ukraine, Finland, Germany and Holland. He has been a regular contributor at Spring Harvest for many years and has previously been an associate of Youth For Christ and a supported missionary of Baptist churches in his hometown of Reading and also Swansea. Aspects of his work has been widely covered in the press over the years, including 'The Guardian', 'The Independant', BBC1, CH4, Scottish TV and he has worked in conjuction with HTV on a TV series.

Having been in Christian ministry since 1988, he was ordained in November 2002, by Rev. Dr. John Smith & the Leadership of St. Martins, (Concern Australia), in Melbourne, Australia, with whom he and Exousia Trust have had a long association.

Sean is perhaps most familiar for founding a pioneering church in a pub and community venture in Swansea in 1998, called 'Zac's Place' which continues to be an effective mission and discipleship based community of faith on the fringes among many marginalised people, with a chaotic but precious cocktail of bible teaching, the arts and service of the poor.

He is also the founding President of the UK chapter of God's Squad Christian Motorcycle Club, which ministers primarily among 'outlaw' motorcycle clubs and was established in Australia in the late 1960's where it is still thriving - Sean is currently European President and International Vice-President.

Sean is originally from Reading, Berkshire but now lives in South Wales with his wife and four children.

Stories from the road, 'Motorcycles, Misfits & Mission' 2009 Tour - Canberra, Australia, 2009

"Sean embraces a desire to go the margins of the culture, not only to convert, but to nurture and establish seekers in loving care and real community. During my many visits I have observed a pastoral heart in action many times. The depth of response to Sean's pastoral care and genuine Christ-like friendship from many who are alienated from the church is truly remarkable"
