Person
Rev Dr Neil Hudson is the Director of Church Relationships for LICC (London Institute of Contemporary Christianity) and leads of team of consultants who inspire church leaders who want to grow whole-life disciple making communities and develop their culture-change skills. Initially, he led the Imagine Project for LICC - an action-research project exploring the possibilities of churches becoming communities that develop whole-life disciples. The learning gathered in that project led to the IVP book, Imagine Church, published in 2012. As the work continued, a team of trainers and practitioners was formed, and through that team he has led LICC's work with hundreds of churches in the UK and abroad. His team offer training days, learning communities and develop resources for churches to use on an ongoing basis. For eleven years Neil taught at Regents Theological College and has been a full-or-part time local church leader for over 25 years. He is a leader of the Salford Elim Church.
