(d)  presentations to specialist audiences, for example VIth Form Conferences on Sociology, the Association for Teachers of Social Science,  European bodies responsible for the management of religious issues in and beyond the EU, and (in August 2004) the serving ambassadors of Switzerland.   In December 2005, I took part in an ‘event’ organized by the Pew Forum on Religion in Public Life.  These events bring together ‘distinguished’ academics and the representatives of the national media in the US (e.g. The Washington Post, Newsweek, CNN).  I have participated in three invited symposia at Lambeth Palace (on religion in Europe, on higher education, and on religion in public life with special reference to China).\\
\\
(e)  key note addresses at church/church related meetings, for example Diocesan Conferences and a range of more specialist gatherings (the Methodist Conference on Mission, Churches Together in Britain and Ireland, the Associations Européennes de Missiologie, the Conference of European Churches, the German Kirchentag, a variety of groups associated with the World Council of Churches, the Anglican Communion, and varieties of chaplaincies – prison, higher education, army and navy).\\ \\
