An evangelical giant who was passionate about politics and the growth of God’s Kingdom
Sir Fred Catherwood, along with people like his father-in-law Dr Martyn Lloyd-Jones and John Stott, shaped the course of post-war evangelicalism in Britain.
Fred Catherwood was a man of immense accomplishments, fairly minor among which was the founding of this newspaper. In 1986 he encouraged Bob Horn to start Evangelicals Now. The initial meeting of its backers took place at the Oxford & Cambridge Club in London and Sir Fred chaired its board from its inception until 2007. It was a venture close to his heart, as he wanted to see an informed newspaper with evangelical breadth.
