Morling in Sydney, completed his PhD in 1967 at Regents Park College, Oxford. He pastored Baptist churches in NSW, then lectured Church History at Baptist colleges in Adelaide & Sydney before becoming Principal of the Victorian Baptist College. Recognised as a leader among Australian Baptists and among the international Baptist family. In the introduction to his autobiography Ken Manley states, ‘Each person’s life is a search for identity’.
