Important news for trustees
Many of the churches we serve (and indeed, some of the para-church organisations we make use of) are registered charities. As such, recent events at some Christian and secular charities should make us sit up and take notice. This recent article in Evangelicals Now is essential reading for any charity trustee. I commend it strongly to you. I’m guessing that in the milieu of church life some of these issues are far removed from your personal radar, but if we are thinking wisely and clearly about our ministries, that should not be the case.

Incidentially, this is one of the great values of a Christian newspaper. Not only does it help with Christian news (of course!) it can also add value in some of these other important areas that most of us would not have any expertise to grasp, nor know where to start even if we were able to identity issues. We’ve just done a recruitment exercise in church for EN, getting an additional 30 new subscribers. Well worth doing yourself, I would imagine!
