Church of England Commissions New Evangelists

Four new Church of England evangelists have been commissioned by the Chair of the College of Evangelists, the Bishop of Lichfield, at a service in Lichfield Cathedral in Staffordshire this week.

Brother Desmond Alban SFF from the Diocese of Birmingham, Rev Janice Harney (Diocese of Manchester), Rev Canon Michael Hart (Diocese of Southwark) and Rev Paul Rush (Diocese of Leicester) were all commissioned into the College of Evangelists by Rev Jonathan Gledhill.

The College of Evangelists was established in 1999 with an aim to provide support and offer the accreditation of the Archbishops of Canterbury and York to evangelists within the Church of England.
