Evangelical Alliance Greets New Muslim Council General Secretary

The Evangelical Alliance UK, representing more than a million Christians in the UK, has welcomed the appointment of the new General Secretary of the Muslim Council of Britain, 5th June 2006.

Dr Muhammad Abdul Bari has been offered the new post.

The General Director of the Evangelical Alliance, Rev Joel Edwards, as well as the Public Policy Director of the EAUK, DR R David Muir, have previously held a number for meetings with Dr Bari’s predecessor, Sir Iqbal Sacranie, regarding various key Home Office faith community initiatives.

Earlier in the year, Edwards promoted the EAUK’s latest initiative to instil respect into the community. He spoke about respect being a state of mind and the responsibility of the state in the fourth of a series of Winchester Lectures.
