Keith Maurice Brown and his wife Pauline were born in England during the Second World War. Since their marriage, they have travelled through fifty countries on a shoestring budget, and have lived and worked for extended periods in England, Canada, Kenya, and Indonesia. Their interest in Christian theology led them to study various religions, in addition to living alongside peoples of varied cultures in rural Africa, Asia, and North America. Their two children have also lived and worked internationally and their four grandchildren have experienced life in several Asian countries. Keith Maurice Brown’s varied career began with electrical engineering studies at the University of London, England. Later, he qualified as a chartered surveyor and spent a decade in university administration. Twenty years teaching mathematics and technical courses in colleges and a school in Kenya and Indonesia have given him, his wife Pauline, and their family a rich experience of life in the tropics.
