New Director Appointed
Affinity is delighted to announce the appointment of Peter Milsom as its new part-time Director with effect from 1 September 2010.
His role as Affinity Director will be to provide visionary leadership among the Affinity network that inspires gospel churches and agencies to work together in order to evangelise the nations of the United Kingdom and Ireland.
Peter knows the Affinity network well, having served as Chairman of Affinity’s forerunner, the British Evangelical Council from 1990 to 1993. He has served as Director of UFM since 1997 and will continue in this role alongside his responsibilities for Affinity. He is also involved with the Evangelical Movement of Wales and the Associating Evangelical Churches of Wales and is well known as a speaker at church and pastors’ conferences in the UK and around the world.
Peter has a clear understanding of Affinity as an expression of gospel unity and will seek to develop this for the benefit of the Affinity network of churches and agencies. He recognises that Affinity churches cannot enter into gospel partnership with churches which deny the fundamental Bible doctrines and yet is committed to engaging in constructive discussion with all who name the name of Christ.
Richard Underwood, Chairman of the Affinity Council, says of Peter’s appointment:
“I am delighted and grateful to God that Peter has agreed to serve Affinity in the capacity of Director. He respects the diversity of Affinity churches, which come from every part of the United Kingdom and represent a broad range of theological and cultural outlooks. Above all, Peter can inspire the confidence of my generation whilst drawing together younger men who will be the evangelical leaders of tomorrow.”
