MY WORK

I am a minister of the United Reformed Church and until August 2008 was a member of the academic staff at Queen’s Foundation for Ecumenical Theological Education [http://www.queens.ac.uk/].At Queen’s, I taught Ecumenical Studies; Interfaith Studies; Ministry in Intercultural Contexts; and Modern Theologians, among other subjects. I have also supervised students for MA, MPhil, ThD and PhD degrees.

From September 2008, I commence working as Secretary for Racial Justice and Multicultural Ministry for the United Reformed Church.[http://www.urc.org.uk] The brief also includes Interfaith work and include opportunities to develop theological education (for ministers and lay members) with particular reference to multicultural ministry and Black and Asian theologies.

I am also the reviews editor of Black Theology: An International Journal http://www.equinoxjournals.com/ojs/index.php/BT/index].

Along with colleagues Anthony Reddie, Mukti Barton and Carol Troupe, I continue to participate the Black Theology Forum (Queens College, Birmingham).

Besides my involvement in theological education and ministerial formation, I am also a writer of short stories and a story-teller. Among my many projects is that of re-claiming Anancy, the Caribbean patron saint, as a conversation partner in re-telling biblical stories and theological ideas.

My interest in things Caribbean, including Caribbean theology and Studies resulted in my involvement in the Society for Caribbean Studies (SCS) in the UK. I serve on the SCS committee and as the Society’s webpage editor. [http://www.caribbeanstudies.org.uk]
