Dr Brian C Stiller has been appointed the World Evangelical Alliance's global ambassador. This is a newly created role and Dr Stiller will assist WEA Secretary General Geoff Tunnicliffe working with other world bodies, both Christian and secular, ranging from the Vatican to the World Council of Churches, and international forums such as the United Nations.

Dr Stiller will also work with the 128 national alliances of WEA in leadership development and growing a public presence in their respective nations.

Welcoming the appointment, NZ Christian Network National Director Glyn Carpenter noted that Philip Jenkins, author of the book The Next Christendom, has said the evangelical church is the fastest growing Christian community in the world.
