The Consultation
In November 2005, over 200 Christian leaders from all over Wales gathered in Newtown for a church planting consultation. Convened by Baptist minister David Ollerton and General Secretary of Evangelical Alliance Wales, Elfed Godding, the leaders considered the challenge of strengthening existing churches and co-operating to plant new churches around the nation, expressed in David Ollerton's booklet 'Waleswide'.
Next steps
Following an overwhelmingly positive response from the consultation, David, Elfed and a small team of leaders have set up a council of reference, of which Evangelical Alliance Wales is a member, a trust and a working group of practitioners who will offer help to churches under the auspices of Waleswide.
