Timothy Stacey is passionate to find the ‘myths’ or ‘stories of great events and characters’ that contribute to solidarity across religious, political and economic differences. His PhD at the Faiths and Civil Society Unit, Goldsmiths, University of London, explored sources of solidarity amongst civic activists in the religiously, politically and economically diverse setting of London, UK. Tim is now living in Vancouver, Canada, where he is exploring the deep beliefs and values that contribute to solidarity amongst ‘secular activists’, that is, ‘people for whom religion is of no more than a secondary concern’.
