Christian Science in International Business

An Interview with Sir Val Duncan by Robert Colby Nelson

Sir Val Duncan, OBE, a lifelong student of Christian Science, is Chairman and Chief Executive of The Rio Tinto-Zinc Corporation Ltd., one of Britain's most dynamic multinational businesses. He is a Director of the Bank of England. In a recent conversation in London he was asked to describe the relationship between his religion and his career. Repeatedly the discussion focused on the natural parallels between spiritually expansive and inspired thought and globally expansive, innovative modern-day business. A report on this informal discussion follows.

Sir Val's telephone rang, interrupting breakfast. The caller was about to fly half around the world on company assignment, and he had to start early.

Within hours, Sir Val explained, this colleague would be in touch with Australia and Japan. And, from London, Sir Val himself would be coordinating the trip with the work of RTZ affiliates in California.
