WHO'S WHO

Not all Christian organisations are happy families, but Third Way Trust is. These are the people behind the magazine�

OUR PATRON

David Sheppard captained the England cricket team in 1954, before rising through the ranks of the Church of England to serve as Bishop of Liverpool from 1975 to 1997. He chaired the church's Board for Social Responsibility from 1991 to 1996, and his most celebrated book is Bias to the Poor (Hodder & Stoughton).

In his openness to other Christian traditions, his commitment to the social and political implications of the gospel and his stand as someone who criticises what he loves and loves what he criticises, Lord Sheppard embodies what Third Way aspires to be.

THE STAFF

Simon Jones (publishing editor) has an academic background in culture and critical theory, and worked in commercial publishing before joining Third Way. He sits on the music committee of the Greenbelt arts festival and has written for Scripture Union and Christian Lifestyle � but is not the author of Why Bother with Church?, did not star as Arthur Dent in The Hitchiker's Guide to the Galaxy and has never played bass with The Verve.
