Visions of Development presents first-hand stories of groups and movements from many different religious and spiritual traditions that are working with impoverished communities in Africa, Asia and Latin America. It provides unique insights into how people's beliefs and spirituality can help to inform not only what they perceive 'development' to be but also how they go about achieving it. Through real-life examples of courageous and innovative work, the stories challenge much of the theory and practice of mainstream development agencies while also showing how religious inspiration can be a force for radical and positive change.
Since the early 1970s, Wendy Tyndale has worked on human rights and development issues, as a practitioner, campaigner and freelance journalist. She has also worked at Christian Aid, and coordinated the World Faiths Development Dialogue. Since 2004 she has worked as a freelance consultant.
