Dear Editor,
Thank you for another excellent issue of en (March 2020). I especially appreciated the article by Euan Dodds, of Holyrood Evangelical Church in Edinburgh, as his breakdown of the Evangelical ‘tribe’ is exactly how it has been measured over the last 30 years. As he says, there are three broad groups – the Charismatic/Pentecostal, the Conservative (or mainstream) and the Broad who tend to be part of the Liberal grouping.
The Charismatics are dropping slightly (though not the Pentecostal element within them), the Conservatives are growing, while the Broad are declining. Despite Conservative growth, the number of Evangelicals is declining slightly.
