In May, the FIEC announced Andy Paterson as their new Director of Mission. EN asked him about his vision for this new role.
EN: Director of Mission is an unusual title for the FIEC. What does it mean?
AP: Originally, the role was entitled Director of Outreach, but that has overtones of a building-based church making forays into its community. A better metaphor is that of mission, where each believer sees themselves as called to live out and speak out the good news of Jesus within the context of their homes, neighbourhoods, workplaces.
