The Evangelical Alliance is an umbrella grouping for evangelical Christians in the UK. Formed in 1846,〔 the Alliance aims to bring Christians together and help them listen to, and be heard by, the government, media and society. With offices in London, Cardiff, Glasgow and Belfast, the Alliance works across 79 denominations, 3,300 churches, 750 organisations and thousands of individual members. It is also a founding member of the World Evangelical Alliance (WEA), a global network of more than 600 million evangelical Christians, which in January 2015 announced plans for closer cooperation and witness with the World Council of Churches. ==History== The Evangelical alliance was formed in 1846. The major founders were Ridley Haim Herschell,〔(Ridley Haim Herschel ) by Joseph Jacobs, Goodman Lipkind〕Rev. Edward Steane, a Baptist pastor from Camberwell, John Henderson of Park and Sir Culling Eardley, 3rd Baronet.〔Rosemary Chadwick, ‘Steane, Edward (1798–1882)’, Oxford Dictionary of National Biography, Oxford University Press, 2004 (accessed 30 July 2014 )〕 Eardley became the first chairperson and he led the new organisation as it campaigned internationally for religious freedom. In 1852 he campaigned on behalf of the Tuscan prisoners of conscience Francesco Madiai and Rosa Madiai.〔John Wolffe, ‘Eardley , Sir Culling Eardley, third baronet (1805–1863)’, Oxford Dictionary of National Biography, Oxford University Press, 2004 (accessed 30 July 2014 )〕 (They had been imprisoned when they announced that they had become Protestants).
