who are you and why are you here?

well, you’ll have to read our bios to hear the full story, but in short we are friends who met whilst struggling to find our place in the complex world of evangelical Christian faith. we are evangelicals by ‘birth’ and are acutely aware that the name of ‘evangelical’ is being contested in our current context. we firmly believe that the name ‘evangelical’ is worth struggling for, we still wish to own this name for ourselves and we want to live it out radically

why radical?

radical might seem a strange choice of adjective to some, however we are committed to the radical nature of Christianity in all its fullness and particularly in that stream of it where we find ‘the evangelical’

radical in its fundamental basis of love – a claim only possible because God is, in himself, love

radical in its outworking of this doctrine in our world today – including social justice, prophetic voice, silent restoration

why evangelical?

evangelicalism is our ‘home’. we affirm the goodness to be found in the traditional pillars of evangelicalism, particularly a high view of Scripture, the Cross and a personal relationship with Jesus.

we are committed to encouraging others to nourish themselves in the very breath of life that can be found in the Bible.

we are also committed to the truth that the Holy Spirit is, Himself, opening up the Scriptures to us as we read them, they are the living Word of God
