I’ve arrived at my writing debut via a life in engineering, painting and sculpting.
Not a usual path for an author, for certain.
Starting at school in Chichester in the south of England, via University at Imperial College, London, UK – where H.G.Wells made his start – I worked through a bunch of jobs mainly in the project management side of the construction industry in England, I finally settled in Southern Ontario, Canada. There, I worked in steel, public housing and bank sectors. Early retirement allowed me to say goodbye to industry. Moved on to Ontario College of Art and Design for honours in Sculpture and Installation. Worked my art practice in a shared stone sculpture studio for over ten years. Now resting my overworked arms to pursue writing.
Generally a life well lived, exposed to all those left weighted brains and right ones too.
Do I sound a bit straight up to you? Maybe. But read what I have to say before you reach any hard onclusion.
The book then moves into the Middle Ages, when the Church's increasing wealth and political influence led to tensions between its spiritual mission and material prosperity. It explores the emergence of monasticism, the rise of capitalism, and the critiques offered by figures like Pope Leo XIII and the development of Catholic social teaching in Rerum Novarum. With the advent of the Enlightenment, new ideologies about individual rights, wealth, and property challenged traditional Christian teachings, leading to further debates on the role of wealth in society. The book also explores the rise of socialism and the response of Christian thinkers like Walter Rauschenbusch and Pope John XXIII, who called for a renewed focus on social justice and the moral responsibilities of wealth in an industrialized world.
