This original book studies a wide variety of mediating institutions, both organizational and non-organizational, in workplaces, residential areas, and in wider society. Focusing upon institutions in the Thames Gateway and with case studies across south-east London, Europe and the USA, Meditating Institutions highlights the importance of understanding, creating and maintaining these organizations that facilitate relationships between religious institutions and others within society. Discussing their structures and activities, the author asserts that good relationships between religious institutions and other groups in our society are essential for a cohesive and peaceful society.
Malcolm Torry is an honorary research fellow at the London School of Economics and Roehampton University, UK. Previously he worked in the full-time ministry of the Church of England for thirty-four years, and is the author of Managing Religion, published by Palgrave.
