A well-known evangelical who moved into charismatic renewal, John T.C.B. Collins, has died.
Ordained in 1951, John served for six years as an assistant curate at All Souls’ Langham Place, in central London. His training incumbent was John Stott, the pre-eminent leader of post-war Anglican Evangelicalism. John Collins focused especially on ministry for families, and launched an innovative family service that filled St Peter’s, Vere Street, in the All Souls’ parish.
In 1955, he married Diana Kimpton, niece of Baron Hazlerigg. She was a student at Ridgelands Bible College, and the couple met when helping at Billy Graham’s Harringay crusade in 1954.
