Director of Langham Scholars Programme at Langham Partnership, and Senior Research Fellow at the IBTS Centre, The Netherlands.
Having been involved in the field of education for most of my adult life, and in theological education since 2003, I see it primarily as a privilege of participating in the transformation of others - and, inevitably, of myself. Although I am used to working to high academic standards, what makes the process meaningful for me is grounding these standards in the 'real life' of a particular community.
Theology for me is a tool for exploring any aspect of life, and that's what I want to help my students to do.

Abstract
From the Editorial:
"As we continue to inhabit this not-quite-post-pandemic world, and grapple with the fact that, at least in some contexts and some forms, online participation is here to stay, questions around the relationship between the physical and the virtual in the life of the Church will need some sustained theological conversation. We hope that this issue of Theology in Scotland will contribute to a start of such conversation."

Исследование и источники [Women in the evangelical communities of the
post-war USSR (1940s–1980s). Documents and analysis], by Nadezhda
Beliakova and Miriam Dobson, Мoscow, «Индрик», 2015, 510 pp.
Yet when the church was very young, the world was also very concerned with the demise of traditional family ways—but the culprits accused of destroying family values were none other than Christians. A considerable number of them willingly chose to forego marriage, embracing Jesus’s vision of a new kind of a family: the church.
This book follows the changes in the practice of marriage and singleness, from those early days of the Christian movement to our modern preoccupation with romance and coupledom as essential ingredients of a happy, fulfilled life. It argues that the current surge in the number of single people is actually an opportunity for us to reconsider both singleness and marriage in the larger context of a community of faith.
Taking the challenge of involuntary singleness as a test case, this book explores the method of convictional theology and argues for a holistic framework that can draw together the personal, communal, and visionary spheres of human existence. Although primarily a work of theological ethics, it also draws from a number of different disciplines, including cultural studies and sociology as well as intersections of science and theology.
