Joel Edwards to step down at EA General Director

Joel Edwards, who has been the General Director of the EA for over ten years, will be stepping this coming September. He said, “ It will be a great wrench to leave this wonderful organisation, but I am convinced that after 20 years with the Alliance and ACEA God is leading me to new challenges.” Joel was recently appointed as a commissioner for the Equality and Human Rights Commission which he plans to continue in, as well as his involvement with Micah Challenge.

Expanding on this, Joel said, “Last year, I completed my second five-year term as leader of the Alliance, but wanted to stay on in the role to finish the work I was doing on our mission and vision for the future. This work is now outlined in my book An Agenda for Change, and I feel God is saying that it is the right time for me to hand over the baton to a new head of the Alliance, who will spearhead the delivery of this vision over the coming years.”  He will spend his final six months as General Director presenting this vision to the church on a tour of the UK and America. The vision of the Alliance continues to excite him, as it o aims to unite evangelicals to present Christ credibly to government and society; be good news to the poor and marginalised; and mobilise the church for spiritual and social transformation.
