Welcome. The aim of this site is to give access to
my writings, chiefly on Methodist
and ecumenical matters. The site is still under construction,
but a few sample papers are already available. Clicking on
the links will display or download a pdf file of the paper
concerned. I list my entire scholarly output in the
bibliography attached to this website but nearly all the
articles being put on the website for the time being relate to
work since 2005 for which pdfs are available. Earlier work is
listed in my bibliography; in a
few cases I may have extant print-offs of earlier work which I
could send to anyone who applies with an urgent
need/interest.
The materials posted on this website were produced by me in
furtherance of developing understanding of the many varying
traditions within the Christian Church and, above all, in
furtherance of the cause of Christian unity in accordance with
our Lord’s own prayer ‘that they all may be one’ (John 17:21).
I am happy to see them used in any bona fide meeting or
publication furthering Christian unity. There is no need
in such situations to seek copyright permission from me.
However, I do assert my moral right to be identified as author
when cited in any publication, along with reference to such
book or journal in which the relevant article, entry or
chapter is cited. Please note that in a very few cases I have
had to assign copyright to a publisher. Where that is the case
it is noted at the end of such article etc; it would then be
necessary for me to tell you who to approach for copyright
permission.
