}}Mark Kenneth Russell (born 25 June 1974) is a charity executive. Since 2006, he has served as the Chief Executive of Church Army, an Anglican evangelistic charity. He has additionally served as a lay member of the General Synod of the Church of England and of the Archbishops' Council, both from 2005 to 2011 and since 2015.[1][2] He was previously a local preacher in the Methodist Church in Ireland,[3] and is now a Reader in the Church of England.[3][4]

Early life and education

Russell was born on 25 June 1974 and brought up in Northern Ireland.[1][2] He was educated at Portadown College, a grammar school in Portadown, County Armagh.[1] He studied law at Queen's University Belfast, graduating with a Bachelor of Laws (LLB) degree in 1995.[1][2]

Career

At the age of 21, Russell was licensed as a local preacher in the Methodist Church in Ireland.[3] From 1997 to 2000, he was a youth pastor at the Methodist church in Lurgan, County Armagh.[1] He was also a member of the Conference of the Methodist Church in Ireland between 1996 and 1998.[1]

In 2000, Russell moved to England to became a youth minister at Christ Church, Chorleywood, an evangelical Anglican church in Chorleywood, Hertfordshire, and a member of the Church of England.[2][5] In 2005, he was elected as a lay member of the General Synod of the Church of England and appointed to the Archbishops' Council as its youngest member.[2] In 2006, he left Chorleywood having been appointed Chief Executive Officer of Church Army, an Anglican evangelistic charity working in the United Kingdom and Ireland.[1][2] He was made an honorary canon of Worcester Cathedral in 2011.[1] He stepped down from the General Synod and the Archbishops' Council at the end of 2011.[1][6] In November 2015, he was re-elected to the General Synod as a lay representative for the Diocese of Sheffield and re-appointed to the Archbishops' Council.[1][2][7]

Views

Russell is a supporter of Diverse Church, a organisation for LGBT Christians attending evangelical churches in the UK.[8] He wrote the foreword of Amazing Love: Theology for Understanding Discipleship, Sexuality and Mission (2016), a collection of essays by Anglican theologians that affirm LGBT relationships for Christians.[9][10]

{{as of|2014}}, Russell was a member of the Labour Party,[11] and a former executive of Christians on the Left.[12]

Russell supports the ordination of women as deacons, priests, and bishops in the Church of England.[13]
