He questions and deconstructs the idea that the tent protests have been 'unconstructive' politically and 'disastrous' religiously. Quite the reverse, he suggests.

St Paul’s Institute yesterday released their long-awaited 'Value and Values' report, based on a survey of 515 financial professionals working in the City.

The Occupy London Stock Exchange camp at St Paul's Cathedral plans to set up a welfare programme to assist vulnerable people joining them.
