An internationally renowned motivational preacher and Fellow of the Royal Society of Arts, Bishop Eric Brown has travelled in Europe, the Far and Middle East, Africa, the Americas and the Caribbean spreading the Gospel of Christ and His Church. The Big Move vision is the brainchild of Dr. Brown and is a programme, which drove the New Testament Church of God in England & Wales for the twelve years of his tenure as Administrative Bishop.
Dr. Brown has been highly recognised for his contribution to local community initiatives and involvement in the political arena. He embraces corporate enterprise through extending his pastoral care and spiritual guidance to a variety of corporations including the Citizens Organising Foundation, the Haringey Peace Alliance and the Black Christian Leaders Forum among other worthy causes. In November 2007 he was awarded an Honorary Doctorate Degree in Divinity for his demonstration of sound theological knowledge.

He has been married to Millicent over 40 years. She has stood shoulder to shoulder with him in all of his ministerial activities and he attributes much of his success to her prayerful and administrative support.
