The College of Evangelists welcomes Dave Male
Revd David Male, Revd Ian Mobsby and Mr Richard Chewter
On Wednesday 21st April 2010 Revd David Male, Fresh Expressions Adviser for the Diocese, was admitted to The College of Evangelists at the Annual Commissioning Service at St Martin in the Bullring, Birmingham with two other evangelists, Revd Ian Mobsby and Mr Richard Chewter.
The College of Evangelists exists to recognise and affirm evangelists whose ministry is nationwide or at least beyond the confines of any diocese. It is not an academic institution but a support and resource group for its members. It was set up by the House of Bishops in 1999.
At the Annual Service the new Chair of the Board of the College, the Rt Revd John Inge, Bishop of Worcester, was also welcomed.
David said, 'I feel very honoured to be part of the College and I look forward to learning with and from other evangelists from around the country. From my earliest days in the church I felt the call to be an evangelist and have seen the different ways that gift has worked out in my ministry.'You can read an interview with David in the 2010 College of Evangelists newsletter. This newsletter also features an interview with the Rt Revd John Inge, the former Bishop of Huntingdon.
