Church was an early Management Theorist who espoused the belief that ‘inclusion and communication’ was the best form of management. He was born in Canterbury, England in 1927 and worked initially as a draper’s assistant in the city’s Burgate parish. After a stint with the Coastal Artillery where he rose to the rank of Captain, Church embarked on a teaching career which took him to several great institutions on both sides of the Atlantic. In 1957 he won the Green Ribbon Challenge Cup for the fastest crossing of the English Channel (Calais to Shakespeare Beach, Dover) in a rowing boat with a time of nine hours and 56 mins. He was thereby the first person to break the ten hour barrier for this feat. July 1954 saw Church marry Wyn Cheape, they have three children. In 1968 he published his opus, Modern Management for Modern Managers. Church currently gives lectures at the university in his home town and further afield.
