Peter Lewis: a life-long call fulfilled

Peter Lewis, the well-known former pastor of Cornerstone Church Nottingham for 46 years, has died.

In a statement, the church said: ‘Although we grieve alongside Valerie and the rest of the family for his passing from this world, we rejoice that he now stands on a brighter shore, in the Kingdom of God. What marvels and wonders he now beholds, they are beyond our comprehension!’

In an interview with en in 2015, Lewis said: ‘I was a devout Welsh chapel boy with a high view of God but an inadequate view of the gospel. I became a Sunday School teacher at 12 but mine was a typical Welsh Baptist church, having had a liberal ministry for much of the century, and chary of anything resembling ‘born again’ enthusiasm as suspiciously ‘Pentecostal’.
