The Directors of Evangelicals Now Limited are delighted to announce the appointment of David Baker as the new editor of the newspaper. David has been a regular contributor to the newspaper since 2004 and brings to the role a pastoral heart and experience of serving faithfully in a number of churches matched with a professional background in print journalism.
Like his two immediate predecessors who both combined editing en with local church ministry, David will continue with his role as Rector of East Dean, Friston and Jevington, near Eastbourne. He has also served in churches in Romford and Tolworth. Before full time ministry he worked in the East Midlands for the regional daily newspaper, the Leicester Mercury. He and his wife, Dawn, met, were married and worshipped at Knighton Evangelical Free Church whilst they were there.
The directors were impressed with David’s relevant experience and commitment to evangelical doctrines whilst wanting to serve a healthy range of Bible-believing Christians. He will work closely with Rob Clarke, who oversees the day to day operations of the paper, as well as the news editor and our other valued staff and writers.
The current Coronavirus crisis has reinforced how much the church needs a newspaper to be a trustworthy source of news and comment. However, the Directors also acknowledge the challenges ahead in serving the Christian community in a digital age. We are excited about the prospect of David getting to grips with these issues whilst continuing to serve a healthy range of Bible-believing Christians who are united in the gospel.
Please join us in praying for our brother David as he takes up this role in the summer.
