As, this month, Joel Edwards stands down from his role as General Director of Evangelical Alliance, he gave an interview to EN.
EN: In what ways do you think evangelicalism has changed during your time at E?
JE: So much has changed. When I started at the EA, Spring Harvest was only an infant idea and Word Alive did not exist. I can remember Nicky Gumbel telling me about a new course called Alpha. In the past 20 years the evangelical world has exploded into action. Care for the Family, Soul Survivor, Christianity Explored, On the Move, RUN, Faithworks, Global Day of Prayer, 24/7 and Theos – I could go on, but these are all by-products of our burgeoning evangelical confidence.
