A service was held on 26 September in Reading to remember Maurice Rowlandson, a key figure in the UK evangelical church.
Maurice was serving as Extensions Secretary at the Evangelical Alliance when he was appointed to the team running Dr Billy Graham’s first crusade in England, in 1954. It was the biggest evangelism venture ever; more than a million people attended events spanning three months.

Seven years later, Maurice became Director of the Billy Graham Evangelistic Association UK, and he held this position until 1987.
