Family, early life and education

Born the son of Ronald Stroyan, a judge, [5] in Scotland, John was educated at Harrow School. He attended the University of St Andrews [6] (whence he gained his Master of Theology {MTh} degree in 1976) [5] and trained for the ministry at Queen's College, Edgbaston. [7]

Ministry

Stroyan was ordained deacon at Petertide (3 July) 1983 by Keith Arnold, Bishop of Warwick, [8] and ordained priest the Petertide following (1 July 1984) by John Gibbs, Bishop of Coventry, both times at Coventry Cathedral, [9] and served his title post as assistant curate of St Peter's, Hillfields [10] (in the "Coventry East" team ministry). From 1987 until 1994 he was Vicar of St Matthew with St Chad, Smethwick [11] (in the Diocese of Birmingham) then Bloxham with Milcombe and South Newington (in the Cotswolds) for a further eleven years, the last three as Area Dean of Deddington.

His pastoral dedication and his priority of spiritual renewal led to his appointment in 2005 to the episcopate [12] when Anthony Priddis was translated to Hereford. He was consecrated in Southwark Cathedral in 21 April 2005 and installed at Coventry Cathedral on 1 May 2005. [13]

Stroyan retired effective 7 August 2023. [14]
