On Tuesday, 9 July 2024, Affinity invited a number of key evangelical leaders to come together to discuss and pray about whether further steps should be taken to launch The Gospel Coalition UK.
This follows a statement in April from Affinity and numerous one-to-one consultations within and beyond Affinity members, Council, and Trustees. Notably, well over half of those attending were from outside the current Affinity network.
The meeting was led by Graham Nicholls, Director of Affinity, who set out a vision for a UK version of The Gospel Coalition. There was also a video from Tim Savage, the International Director of The Gospel Coalition, emphasising the need to focus on working together for the gospel – the only hope for our broken world – and noting the spiritual hunger across Europe, particularly among young people.
