Sean works in Christian ministry primarily among those many consider to be far removed from many church cultures.
Much of his work is among many marginalised groups including biker communities and associated groups, where he operates in both a missional and a chaplaincy role, often performing priestly duties for members of motorcycle clubs.
His work has also given him opportunities of speaking in schools and prisons
and in a wide variety of mainstream churches throughout the UK. He has been a regular
contributor on the youth and adult programmes at Spring Harvest for many years and has
previously been an associate of Youth For Christ. His work has been widely covered in the press, including 'The Guardian', 'The Independant', BBC1, CH4, and he has worked in conjuction with HTV on a TV series.
Sean has previously been a supported missionary of Baptist Churches in
Swansea and his home town of Reading. In November 2002 he was ordained by John Smith & the Leadership of St. Martins, (Concern Australia), in Melbourne, Australia, with whom he and Exousia Trust have had a long association.
Sean started and continues to coordinate the 'Bibles For Bikers' project funded
by Exousia Trust, founded a pioneering church in a pub and community venture in Swansea, called
'Zac's Place'. 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 originally from Reading, Berkshire but now lives in South Wales with
his wife and four children.

"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" Rev. Dr. John Smith, God's Squad / Concern Australia |

"I am happy to endorse Sean's work as he walks the turf where people are, indeed that's where he works out his theology. It has its roots in the lives of ordinary folk and he listens to their questions before offering solutions."
