Bishop Azad Marshall of the Diocese of Raiwind has been elected as the new Moderator of the Church of Pakistan.
"Bishop Azad Marshall is a godly, Biblical, and good man of God. His heart for young people and caring for those in need is an example to us all. He is a tremendous leader and I look forward to serving with him in the coming years," ACNA Archbishop Foley Beach told VOL.
A reliable source and good friend of Bishop Marshall said, “Bishop Azad is a humble, gracious, and utterly courageous man who loves Jesus and his church. He is committed to being faithful to the Bible. He is also so gracious he is respected by those outside the church as well. This is a wonderful development not only for Pakistan but for the Anglican communion.”
The position has a three year term. He succeeds Bishop Humphrey Peters.
