International

In 1968 Laurie Green went to New York to continue his studies and has recognised the importance of the international perspective ever since. The British are an island race, and his own generation grew up knowing the British Empire. He has written on imperialism in church and society and has more recently been concerned that the church understand the implications of globalisation. He wrote The Impact of the Global in 2000 and it has since been translated into Japanese, Portuguese, Spanish and Tamil. He has strong links with the Church in Sweden through his work with Bishop Bengt Wadensjo’s Stockholm based Institute for Social Analysis. He was a co-founder of the Anglican Urban Network which has taken him to Brazil, Dubai, India and back to the United States where he has often lectured on urban globalisation.
