New evangelism adviser for Berks

 

NEW evangelism adviser, the Revd Richard Zair, has started work in the diocese.
Richard, priest-in-charge of Marcham with Garford, in the Abingdon Deanery ,was director of evangelism with the Church Pastoral Aid Society (CPAS) for 17 years. He has been a ministry consultant and served in Bristol and South London.
He said: ‘My ministry includes having a passion for evangelism and evangelism training and being an itinerant evangelist as the opportunity arises. I enjoy preaching and teaching from scripture.’
He is married to Sylvia and the couple have two daughters, Sara, 28 and Hannah, 25. He says: ‘I have worked with many different Anglican churches across the UK, in a variety of contexts, from inner city to deeply rural, and with churches of different churchmanship. I have had the privilege of leading mission teams, of undertaking many training courses in faith sharing and of networking with many of the key players in the outreach/evangelism.’
Richard’s interests include golf, walking, wood turning, watching motor sport, gardening, photography and occasionally cooking.
