I began travelling around Europe & Asia when I was fourteen. Then in my twenties lived for a while in the States and then on to Brazil. I learnt that every culture has something to teach the others.

In 1999 I helped found the Anglican Urban Network to alert churches across the world to the poverty engendered by globalisation.  This took us to India and to New York to discuss personally with Dr Nitin Desai, Under Secretary General of the United Nations. Lecturing in Texas, Sweden and India led to the publication of my small book 'The Impact of Globalisation' which introduced the subject to many at that time.
