Mark Ireland is Archdeacon of Blackburn and a former vicar and diocesan missioner. He will be accompanied by his wife Gill. They both love the outdoors, especially walking and skiing, and Mark has spent some time trekking in the Sinai desert. He has also co-authored several books around mission, spirituality and ethics of which the most recent is How to do Mission Action Planning (SPCK).
MARK IRELAND is not due to speak in the coming programme. But we're sure there'll be someone else you'd like instead!
