2009-10
This annual review covers the period from April 2009 to March 2010, my fi rst year as General Director. It’s been a privilege and a challenge to be here during this pivotal time for the Alliance to unite the Church to see change in our society.
Many highlights are listed here, but for me the overriding aspect has been the faithful support - fi nancial and prayer - of our Alliance members. The entire staff team and I are thankful for everyone who partners with God on His vision of unity. It’s been an amazing year.

12 Who we are
We are the largest and oldest body serving evangelical Christians in the UK. To us, uniting to change society is about
promoting unity and acting as an evangelical voice to Government, media and society. We work collaboratively with Alliance members
and other evangelicals to present Christ credibly as good news in
transforming communities.
For example, last autumn my wife Ann and I tested the Simplify challenge to live as if on benefi ts and to give what we saved to charity. In September, I was encouraged when the Alliance Council met with a dynamic group of more than 100 leaders to grapple with key issues of the 18-30s generation.
And I will never forget being seated in the tiny historical Chapel of St Mary Undercroft in March for the launch of Biblefresh alongside leaders from across church communities. We prayed for the leaders of our nation as they met in the Houses of Parliament just above our heads. For me, this initiative provides a snapshot of the Alliance’s core ministry: bringing together nearly a 100 different agencies to serve in co-operation rather than competition to help the Church be more effective in mission.
As General Director, I am privileged to visit churches and hear fi rsthand stories of what God is doing all over the country. I am reminded that the local church truly is God’s vehicle of hope, and I believe we have a great future together, so read on and be encouraged…

This year has seen the high profi le Equality Act, which brought together all of the legislation relating to age, gender, race and disability discrimination and now includes the new categories of religion and sexual orientation. We worked closely with other Christian groups to press the Government for an amendment to allow churches to select employees who live in accordance with the church’s beliefs. Following the defeat in the House of Lords the Government accepted this crucial amendment. This is just one of a number of
issues on which we have been able to have a positive impact on the governmental system in the past year.
Working in partnership with the fi nancial ministry Stewardship, the public affairs team produced Life Beyond Debt. How the Church can help, a resource aimed at equipping churches to respond to the economic recession. Copies were sent to all Alliance member churches with thousands more requested. The resource contained practical information on what churches can do in their communities, ranging from how to set up a debt counselling centre to money advice tips. The booklet also offered advice on how churches can teach their congregations about campaigning for sustainable economic justice.
Following the spate of youth violence that escalated last year, research showed a lot of negativity towards young people in society. The Alliance actively worked to address this as it sought to promote a more optimistic and encouraging approach to young people. Consequently, we published a report looking at youth volunteering entitled: Young People Matter: A Report and Survey of Youth Volunteering. This

report and survey of youth volunteering found that nearly 40% of all voluntary work carried out by young people aged 14-18 takes place through churches or other religious organisations. The report learnt that among Christians the more frequently a young person attended church the more likely they were to volunteer.
Friday Night Theology (FNT) is the popular weekly email comment on a news event of the week, enabling you to bring Jesus into your everyday conversations. By the end of 2009, over 3000 people were receivingthe weekly refl ection. 57% of people who receive FNT told us that the resource has helped them in their personal evangelism.

They represent the eight countries of South Asia and a range of lan-guages and ethnic backgrounds, part of the 2 million South Asians from all faith backgrounds in the UK.
The Evangelical Alliance launched the South Asian Forum (SAF) of the Evangelical Alliance earlier this year to encourage, support and equip South Asian Christians for mission, and to represent their concerns to Government, the media and the wider Church.
Ram Gidoomal, Chair of SAF, says, ‘As a minority within a minority we need a voice to respond quickly and with unity to pertinent issues, such as pressure on Christians in Pakistan and the on-going fragility of that nation, persecution of Afghan believers, or the intense suffering caused by the divisions in Sri Lanka.’

to advising Coronation Street about the baptism of one of its characters, the Alliance has been at the forefront of Christian media engagement’, reports Head of Media and Marketing Charis Gibson.
Other media highlights this year have been the BBC local radio coverage of Steve Clifford’s Simplify experience. Over a three week period, Steve did 35 interviews with local BBC radio stations, as well as appearing in the Mother’s Union magazine, Families First, the Baptist Times, Premier Radio and more.
Our coverage has been varied, both across different media platforms and the topics we’ve been asked to comment on. We appeared on BBC1’s The Big
Questions a number of times, and radio interviews included Talksport and Radio 5 Live. Our response to parliament’s decision to allow churches to carry out civil partnerships was featured in the Times and the Telegraph, while the Mail on Sunday ran our quote on Channel Five’s fi rst terrestrial TV casino.
And we have continued to embrace social media as a means of communicating directly to our audiences. Our Twitter feed, EAUKnews, is followed by nearly 700 people, and our Twitter passion play, Easter (LIVE), was followed by 3,000 people across Twitter and Facebook and also attracted more traditional coverage in the Telegraph.

One of our volunteers says of her experience, ‘I always thought giving was just fi nancial. I wasn’t cash rich, but could set aside some hours each week to help. I’ve particularly enjoyed interaction with members, seeing how the Alliance equips them on a local and national level.’

Research shows that only a third of Christians under 30 considerthemselves to be leaders in their churches.

‘Seeing all in church leadership fl ourish and be supported in their roles was the aim of Kingdom Come in February,’ says Stephen Cave, National Director for Northern Ireland. ‘Another highlight was the Not Just a One Night Stand conference, part of the Northern Ireland National Marriage week, helping 16-30s discuss sex and relationships.’

The initiative resources churches with practical and in-spiring ways to engage afresh with God’s Word in the areas of Bible reading, Bible training, Bible translation and Bible experiences. Churches are already planning art exhibitions, school assemblies, fashion shows, pho-tography competitions and Bible-reading marathons for the year-long celebration in 2011.

‘In three venues on three consecutive nights in March, hundreds of people gathered in Swansea, Cardiff and Colwyn Bay to listen to some of the UK’s most prominent Christian leaders,’ reports Elfed Godding, National Director for Wales. CICC, set up by the Evangelical Alliance Wales working in partnership with the Bible Society in Wales and the South Wales Baptist College, aims to help Christians apply the Bible to contemporary issues.

The South Wales Churches’ Refugee Network, an asylum and refugee-related Christian group, was established by Evangelical Alliance Wales last year following the Alliance’s Don’t be a Stranger campaign. Chaired by Jim Stewart the Welsh Alliance’s National Assembly Liaison Offi cer, the group meets regularly to share information, identify training needs and help equip churches who serve in this area. Jim says, ‘We have seen encouraging developments in the way secular groups within the refugee and asylum seeker sector relate to us – with a growing appreciation across the board of the contribution that churches are making to the lives of refugees and asylum seekers’.
Over the last six months, the Direc-torate has developed its strategy to see the Alliance in a better position to fulfi l its purpose of uniting to change society. Implementation of this programme and structure will begin in September 2010, continuing to recognise unity (working together) and advocacy (voice) as the two key areas of activity where the Alliance is uniquely positioned to benefi t both Church and society.
