A risky business: the potential of groupwork skills for spiritual education in a classroom of difference

Living and working in Brighton, on the south coast of England, I am a couple of hours away from London. On 7 July 2005, I was working in the office and by late morning people were talking across desks and logging on to websites to find out more about something big happening in London. Within the hour the same people were calling partners, sons and daughters away at university and colleagues who had travelled to London for meetings.
