The Fellowship of Independent Evangelical
Churches (FIEC) has appointed a Church
Revitalisation Co-ordinator who will be
responsible for spearheading a revitalisation
initiative among the churches of the FIEC.
Phil Walter, currently pastor of Brixworth
Christian Fellowship near Northampton,
will work part-time in the role before joining
the FIEC staff team full-time in July 2016.
He will work alongside
struggling
local
churches to help them recapture and renew
their gospel vision.

The Christian Institute

shari’a councils was passed in January by the

Baroness Cox received
support
for
the
plans from Muslim women’s groups as
it
seeks
to
tackle gender discrimination
in
pseudo courts. However, its First Reading in
the House of Commons is yet to be scheduled and the BBC has indicated that the Bill
has
‘little chance’ of being discussed or
passed by MPs.
