"Religion is back. It’s not just in the news - it often leads the news"

Mark Thompson,
Director-General of the BBC

The Press Office exists to provide a voice for evangelical Christians to Government and society through our media coverage. We have extensive reach into national and local media both Christian and mainstream.

We aim to be proactive and identify areas of media opportunity in which we can present Christianity and the work that evangelicals do as good news to society.

Our other role is to be reactive and respond on behalf of cameraour members to legislation, news and events as they arise. We develop professional relationships and liaise with journalists, producers and researchers.

By producing relevant press releases, statements and articles we aim to ensure that the Alliance identifies areas of public life and ethics where our members and constituency might expect us to respond, comment, or be part of the debate.
