Family, early life and education
Born the son of Ronald Stroyan, a judge,[3] in Scotland, John was educated at Harrow School. He attended the University of St Andrews[4] (whence he gained his Master of Theology {MTh} degree in 1976)[3] and trained for the ministry at Queen's College, Edgbaston.[5]
Ministry
Stroyan was ordained deacon at Petertide (3 July) 1983 by Keith Arnold, Bishop of Warwick,[6] and ordained priest the Petertide following (1 July 1984) by John Gibbs, Bishop of Coventry, both times at Coventry Cathedral,[7] and served his title post as assistant curate of St Peter's, Hillfields[8] (in the "Coventry East" team ministry). From 1987 until 1994 he was Vicar of St Matthew with St Chad, Smethwick[9] (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[10] 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.[11]
Stroyan retired effective 7 August 2023.[12]
