On a national level, I am a Scholar-Consultant of the Christian Muslim Forum having been Co-Chair from 2010 to 2012 and Anglican President from 2012 till 2015.    I am an Honorary Research Fellow at King’s College, London, and also Whitelands Professorial Fellow in Christian Theology and Contemporary Issues at the University of Roehampton.  I am a member of the Church of England’s Environment Working Group and a co-leader of a major three year project, “Equipping religious leaders in an age of science” funded by the Templeton World Charity Foundation.   I am ex-Chair of the Church of England’s Panel on Continuing Ministerial Development and of Southwark Diocesan Board of Education.
