Rev. Dr. Colin Archer’s ministerial and professional career as a Bahamian Methodist Minister and psychotheologian has been shaped primarily by his work in many churches in Jamaica, the Bahamas, Caribbean and The United States, and his longtime engagement as a psychotherapist and specialist, mainly in alcoholism treatment, research and rehabilitation. He is the founding president of The Bahamas Conference of The Methodist Church [1993]. These experiences were earlier bolstered by his tertiary education at The United Theological College of The West Indies & University of The West Indies in Jamaica, issuing in a diploma in ministry and Licentiate in Theology degree. They were further strengthened by postgraduate studies at Eden Theological Seminary and St. Louis State Hospital [Clinical Pastoral Education], culminating in supervision at Sandilands Rehabilitation Centre in Nassau, under the trained eye of the father of Bahamian psychiatry, Dr. Henry Podlewski, which resulted in accreditation of a professional Doctorate [Doctor of Ministry], with emphasis in systematic theology, pastoral care and ethics. For several years he lectured graduate students in Christianity & Culture, at Princeton Theological Seminary summer program, in New Jersey.

He is the author of six books, ranging in subject from Poverty, to Contemplative-Spirituality, and Bahamian alcoholism and other drug abuse, and is in the process of publishing his personal, devotional and vocational memoir, Wrap Up. He is the producer of a continuous twenty-four year multi-topic radio format, Investing In Being Human.
