Archbishop tells new Church Army evangelists to be ’all weather evangelists, who loiter with intent’

SHEFFIELD, UNITED KINGDOM (ANS) -- Presiding at the recent commissioning service of ten newly-commissioned Church Army evangelists and a 400-strong congregation in the United Kingdom, the Archbishop of York told them they have been sent out as evangelists because they have a passion for sharing the gospel.

At the July 12 service in a packed Sheffield Cathedral, Archbishop John Sentamu told the seven women and three men admitted to the Office of Evangelist they should "loiter with intent" to help people experience, explain and demonstrate what new life in Christ is all about.

In a thoughtful and wide ranging sermon given in a city that had been devastated by floods only a couple of weeks earlier, the Archbishop called upon the newly commissioned evangelists to be "all weather" evangelists not waiting for the sun to come out and shine as it very rarely does, but "getting out there in all weathers" to share the gospel through words and actions.
