You don't become un-ordained, generally, unless you do something Extraordinarily Naughty.
"He ceased to serve in parish ministry" would be a better phrasing.
That’s the thing, he never was a parish minister

ah, true enough. "he was a minister who never lead a parish", then.
His ministry was in the media with a focus on children and families so it was in no way former. To my understanding that "charge" was given as part of ordination after he was into his professional career and throughout it he remained an ordained minister within the presbyterian church.
