Thomas Ehrich was a staff reporter for the Wall Street Journal for six years. He then went to seminary and was ordained as an Episcopal priest. He is married and has three children. In 1995 he left parish ministry ("I had the skills of a pastor but not the personality") to join a colleague in founding a computer consulting firm. He now travels widely, writes a syndicated newspaper column, and continues to write winsome theology through "On a Journey" which he began 8 years ago and now distributes to 3,300 readers daily.
