Churches Experiencing Change
A paper to the Summer School for the Diocese of Durham, July 2002. The paper suggests that the church is trying to meet changes in the world by making changes in the church, rather than equipping Christian lay people to go out and experience these changes in the world and respond to them there.

The Psychodynamics of Meaning and Action for a Sustainable Future
contribution to a special edition ofthe journal Futures, 32 pp339 - 360. Pergamon Press* 2000
Oscillation Theory emphasises that transformation can only occur when persons transform themselves accepting their dependence and taking responsibility for their own anxieties, development and behaviour. Truly sustainable development can only occur when, in this way, persons reduce their impacts on the ecological and social processes that support them. Policy-makers need to recognise that ‘external’ problems have experiential, emotional and cultural roots.
