[70.1] BUILDING BRIDGES RECRUITS DYNAMIC NEW CHAIR

The Building Bridges of Hope development group, which coordinates and oversees the activity of the mission project across England, Scotland, Ireland and Wales, has a dynamic new chair. He is the Rev Dr Philip Walker, an Elim Pentecostal minister, who is also the founder of Healthy Church UK. Philip, who has served on the development group for a number of years, is also the UK and Ireland partner of Natural Church Development (NCD). He has been Executive Director of the British Church Growth Association since 1999.

Philip Walker served as an Elim minister in York and is committed to ecumenical mission cooperation and is an active member of the Group for Evangelization of Churches Together in England -- whose new website he has put together.

Philip succeds the Rev Roger Whitehead of GfE, currently (until March 2005) also moderator of the CTBI Churches' Commission on Mission. Roger has done extraordinary work for BBH, and was a founding figure in the project. He will be much missed.
