1 Appointment of Director of Fundraising and Marketing Forever, O LORD, your word is firmly fixed in the heavens. Your faithfulness endures to all generations. - Psalm

2 Bible Society is passionate for a world where everyone has access to the Bible and can recognise its value for them, their families and communities. We believe that God s revelation to human beings through the Scriptures continues to be of vital importance for every generation, and society. We believe that the Bible is more than a book it can feed the spiritual health of every individual, provide life-giving wisdom for every sphere of society, and help all of us live in fruitful relationship with the environment we share. We believe that as people engage with the Bible, lives can change, for good. We do not dictate. Our aim is to see every individual and community equipped to discover for themselves the value of the Bible. In a rapidly changing world, nationally and internationally, the types of need and opportunity are almost limitless. Cultural changes are happening with increasing speed, and globalisation is rapidly changing the way people connect. This calls for Bible Society to be increasingly responsive, creative and entrepreneurial. The Bible is communication, and digital media gives us extraordinary new opportunities to engage with everyone everywhere in locally relevant and accessible ways. The task of translating, producing and distributing the Bible in every heart language in the world remains significant. The task of advocating for the Bible in every culture, and of helping every individual to engage with it, is even greater. We are filled with excitement about the possibilities, and a deep sense of hope about the value that the Bible can bring for all. We see a growing unity in the body of Christ around this value, and a growing need for the Bible s message of reconciliation and peace in an increasingly fractious world. We believe that we have a unique opportunity to rise to this challenge. We are based in the home of the global English language whilst also having a rich history of valuing and supporting local cultures and churches. We have extraordinary global connections, and we have a long history of valuing the contribution of diverse spiritual approaches within the body of Christ. Bible Society is now recruiting a Director of Fundraising and Marketing who is committed to following Jesus, is a lover of the Bible and able to develop strategies to grow income and inspire audiences off and online. We are seeking a Director of Fundraising and Marketing who is able to think and act innovatively and strategically, and lead a team that excels in raising funds and in enthusing supporters to offer the Bible to the world in a contemporary context. He or she will be able to demonstrate a track record of growing income and the impact of a brand. He or she will have a servant-hearted authenticity, and a management style that leads through building and empowering a team. He or she will be digitally engaged and savvy at building a presence and community online as well as relational and skilled at building relationships and engaging externally. Following the recent appointment of Paul S Williams, Research Professor of Marketplace Theology at Regent College, as the new Chief Executive of Bible Society (to assume the role in September 2016) there is a great sense of excitement and expectation of a new season of innovation and confidence in the power of the Bible. Please do consider whether you might invest your passions and gifts to help us realise our desire to see the world blessed through engagement with the Bible. 2

3 About Bible Society Thomas Charles, William Wilberforce and others established The British and Foreign Bible Society, now referred to as Bible Society, in Our patron is HM the Queen, and our President is the Right Revd Richard Chartres, Bishop of London. Bible Society was established as being and remains lay led. We work in fellowship with and serve the whole church irrespective of denominational or theological tradition. When we publish the Bible we do so without sectarian comment. Our approach is one of inviting conversation. Now operating under a Royal Charter, our charitable object is simply to encourage the wider circulation or use of the Bible. We completed a review of our governance structure during 2015 with the benefit of professional advice. We are keen to do more to help both the saints in the street and the emerging generations, whether or not connected to church, engage with and appreciate the value of the Bible, both for them individually and for society. Much of our national advocacy work has traditionally been through the media, education, the arts and politics. For example, the think-tank, Theos, is part of Bible Society s family and has an effective and distinctive voice in the public arena. Open the Book, which through more than 12,500 volunteers delivers Bible stories to over 2,000 primary schools, is also a key Bible Society programme. We are active in Westminster, including each year helping to deliver the National Parliamentary Prayer Breakfast. We run a competition called The Pitch that inspires film-makers to create innovative short films based on a character, theme or story in the Bible. Globally, Bible Society is the founder of the global Bible Society movement, now known as the United Bible Societies fellowship and referred to as UBS. Bible Society remains a significant servant of that fellowship, and much of our international work is delivered by working through or in partnership with UBS. The UBS fellowship is one of the world s leading Christian organisations, with national offices and operations in over 200 countries. This ensures both global interconnection and local ownership. Bible Society has particularly strong connections in China, the Middle East and Africa, whilst also operating elsewhere. We are affiliated with Amity Printing, the largest Bible printing factory in the world based in Nanjing (140 million Bibles in over 100 languages over the last 30 years, half of which have been distributed within China). We have recently commissioned Amity to print the first highquality study Bible in Chinese. We are working closely with colleagues in Syria, Lebanon and Jordan to meet the growing needs there at this difficult time. We are supporting numerous projects to translate the Bible into local heart languages. We have recently concluded a successful African leadership conference in Malawi, and we are delivering increasing numbers of Bibles for highly successful work that is reducing recidivism rates in a number of African prisons. These are just examples of our multi-faceted international work. 3

4 Context Global trends show that the world is becoming a less, not more, secular place. Christianity is growing all over the world, particularly in China and parts of Sub-Saharan Africa where the demand for Bibles is increasing at an exponential rate. At home, 7% of the national adult population describe themselves as Christian and Bible engaged, with a further 6% as Church going but unengaged with the Bible. Approximately a further 55% of the adult population describe themselves as spiritually open. It is against this dynamic backdrop that Bible Society has a wealth of opportunities to respond to the growing demand for the Bible around the world and invite individuals to engage with what it has to say in their own lives. Bible Society is a thriving and stable organisation with committed and talented staff. James Catford, who led the organisation and oversaw a period of sustained growth over 14 years, stepped down at the end of last year. Paul S Williams, Research Professor of Marketplace Theology and Leadership at Regent College, has just been announced as the next Chief Executive of Bible Society. He will take up the position in September this year. Paul was formerly Chief Economist and Head of International Research for DTZ plc, a London-based multinational real estate consulting and investment-banking group, and has worked as an economic policy advisor for the European Commission and numerous national and city governments. More recently he was the visionary behind ReFrame, a 10-week course that blends world-class teaching with real-life examples of Christians in various professions wrestling with and succeeding in applying their faith to their professional and personal lives. News of Paul s appointment has been welcomed with great excitement within and outside the organisation. With a passion for communicating the relevance, power and salience of Scripture for living vibrantly it is anticipated that Paul will cast a compelling vision and will lead the organisation into a new season of creativity and growth. Our income last financial year was over 19million, with approximately 11m of that total raised in voluntary income which represents a significant increase on the previous year. We give thanks to the Lord, our loyal supporter base and the customers of our commercial arm for enabling us to increase our income against a challenging economic backdrop. After a period of extensive consultation we have just launched a revised and refreshed brand and are poised to roll out a three-year awareness raising campaign aimed at increasing understanding and support amongst Bible engaged Christian audiences nationwide. We believe there is a significant opportunity for the new Director of Fundraising and Marketing to help Bible Society increase its income as it continues to improve the focus, delivery and communication of its strategy and as it accesses potential new donor audiences in this country. Bible Society is committed to the spiritual foundations laid by our founders over 200 years ago. We are looking for a Director of Fundraising and Marketing who has had experience of developing and delivering income growth and increased brand effectiveness someone who has a joy in exercising the kind of leadership that can consolidate past achievements, be ambitious for the future, and then lead others forward in that vision. 4
