I am a Kiwi who flew and settled in Australia 30+ years ago. I am an Author, Eulogy Writer and Pastor. I first got to know the name of ‘F W Boreham’ when in 1978 I became the pastor of a Baptist church in Dunedin, New Zealand that was only a few miles from Mosgiel, where FWB pastored his first church. My first connection was through reading many of his books at the Knox College Theological Library (near where I lived). When in 1992 our family moved to Melbourne, Australia, I came across many people who had met Dr Boreham and had heard him preach sermons. Amazingly, many could remember the gist of those sermons, some of which they had heard 50 years earlier. I also had the privilege of meeting many of FWB’s relatives, among them Frank Boreham (his son) and Betty Boreham (his daughter-in-law). They became good friends, they told me much about FWB and one year I went on a tour with them to Tasmania to visit the Boreham haunts. I had the privilege of conducting both Frank and Betty’s funerals at the Kew Baptist Church. In the 1990s I led several F W Boreham Bus Tours around his homes, the churches where he had served and other significant Boreham sites in Melbourne. I have written and posted thousands of articles about F W Boreham. I wrote a doctoral thesis on F W Boreham which focused on the 3,000 editorials that he wrote for the Otago Daily Times, the Hobart Mercury and The Melbourne Age. Through posting on blogs, the F W Boreham Facebook Page and this ‘Exploring F W Boreham’ Substack site I have got to know and communicate with hundreds of people whose lives have been influenced for good through the writings of F W Boreham.
