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. I am presently Honorary Research Fellow at Westminster College, Cambridge and Honrary lecturer at the University of Birmingham.

September 2008 I commenced 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 opportunities to participate in the URC Resource Centres 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 or Anansi, 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 [http://www.caribbeanstudies.org.uk] in the UK. I served on the SCS committee until June 2009.
