John Collins: from Langham Place to HTB
Andrew Atherstone
A well-known evangelical who moved into
charismatic renewal, John T.C.B. Collins,
has died.
Ordained in 1951, John served for six years as
an assistant curate at All Souls’ Langham Place,
in central London. His training incumbent was John Stott, the pre-eminent leader of post-war
Anglican Evangelicalism. John Collins focused
especially on ministry for families, and launched
an innovative family service that filled St Peter’s,
Vere Street, in the All Souls’ parish.
