| Introduction | Far from perfect, I am an incurable perfectionist and value being part of a community that regularly reminds me of the love and compassion of God. I am passionate about social justice and the inner transformations of character that are necessary to sustain a faithful witness to Jesus Christ. I work in the University of Exeter Business School and research business models that strive to embody practices such as redistribution of wealth,democratic governance and ecological sustainability - most notably co-operatives and social enterprises. In no particular order, I am a non-staff member of the Belmont Chapel leadership team, co-founder of the Belmont Eco-Church and CHARIS Exeter community sponsorship groups, husband, dad, cyclist, vegetable grower, baker of bread, retired farmer and prolific tea drinker. |
| Interests | Co-operatives, Cycling, Social Enterprises, Pastoral Care, Theology. |
