This blog is about how we develop deeper democracy in the organisations and contexts we work in. It draws particularly on the work of Myrna Lewis's "Inside the No", available from freelender.org -particularly the analysis of the way in which we get stronger forms of opposition if we ignore the NO!

Is UK Restorative Justice representation and delivery ever iniquitous?
The Shift in Restorative Justice from a Bottom-Up radical movement to a Top-Down iniquitous power structure.
Giles Fraser, formerly of St Paul's Cathedral until the OCCUPY protest, tells a poignant parallel tale of how the radical Christianity that was sometimes literally underground (in Catacombs), was changed by a Roman Emperor to serve his (and the state's ends). A transcript of this talk that Giles Fraser gave on Start the Week today is available for those who care about this parallel in the development of restorative justice; whittled down to a version for the state's purposes, which are less challenging to authorities than the original idea.
