A new name...
The evangelism initiative Living Faith: a vision for evangelism has a new name. The project, launched last year with a large conference in Oxford, will now be called Encouraging Evangelism, to avoid confusion with the new diocesan vision, Living Faith: for the future.

The Revd Janet Russell, parish development adviser for Berkshire who leads the initiative, said: ‘It makes sense for us to re-brand ourselves as the new Living Faith vision goes live. The work itself lives on as a core strand within the “making disciples” priority. Meanwhile, I’m delighted that the Living Faith name lives on.’

Champions
Please contact us if you would like to be a "Champion" for Encouraging Evangelism in your parish, to tell us about people with gifts in evangelism, and any specific training opportunities you might find useful.

Training Mornings
If you attended the living faith day you will have heard about living faith training – but you don’t need to have been at the June 7th day to take advantage of the training.

The training enables parishes to design and run an evangelistic event to serve the people on the fringes of your church; people, that is, with whom you already have some contact.
