Benton thanked

Warm appreciation has been expressed to former Evangelicals Now editor John Benton, who has stepped down as a columnist after many years with the paper.

Benton was editor of en from 1992 until 2019, but continued a monthly column. He explained the main practical reason for him stepping back was the increasing demands of his new job with the Pastors’ Academy, and involvement with plans for a possible church plant.

Editor David Baker said: ‘We cannot thank him enough for the great and faithful gospel-centred contribution he has made.
