New support for young adults, Fresh Expressions and pioneer ministry

The Revd David Cundill was welcomed to the Diocese this week as the new Deputy Director of Mission. He will work with parishes and pioneer ministers with a particular focus on supporting work under the Diocese's Reaching New Generations theme, particularly with reaching the 19-35 age group and Fresh Expressions.

At a service in St Matthew's Walsall, the Bishop of Shrewsbury, Rt Revd Mark Rylands who oversees the Mission Department, said David had an excellent pedigree and qualities for the role: He has led a pioneer ministry in Leicester for the past six years, worked with various 'fresh expressions' including setting up a Cafe Church in the city. He has been a university chaplain and before ordination demonstrated great skills in problem-solving and initiative, communications and IT skills as a Project Engineer, developing air-bags and experimenting on test dummies for Land Rover Group.

Hear from Bishop Mark, Revd George Fisher (Director of Mission), Izzy Butterfield (one of the 20-somethings at St Matthew's) and firstly David himself in this interview:
