Who we are
The Church of England Evangelical Council (CEEC) consists of representatives from the Church of England’s College of Bishops and General Synod, from theological colleges, mission societies, networks and local associations.
First set up in 1960 by evangelical theologian and church leader John Stott, to provide a collective evangelical voice in the Church of England, all members have signed up to our shared Basis of Faith.
The Council meets residentially once a year, with our Working Group meeting regularly throughout the year, hosting key interim meetings and serving diocesan evangelical groups (DEFs) across England.
