Abp. Calls Ecumenical Adviser

Please email comments to letters@livingchurch.org.

Adapted from the Archbishop of Canterbury’s website

The Rev. Will Adam is the new ecumenical adviser to the Archbishop of Canterbury and ecumenical officer at the Council for Christian Unity (CCU).

This post will build on the creative joint working that has been established between Lambeth Palace and the CCU to further the ecumenical ministry of Archbishop Justin Wilson.

“I am delighted that Will Adam will be bringing his considerable experience and expertise to this post,” Archbishop Welby said. “His understanding of both national and international ecumenism will be a real asset to the work at Lambeth and at CCU. There are wonderful opportunities in ecumenism in these times, and we must always strive to be obedient to Jesus’ desire that his Church ‘may be one.’”

“My commitment to the reconciliation of Christ’s church goes back to my early student days,” Adam said. “I am looking forward to supporting the archbishop and the wider Church of England in ecumenical mission and ministry in the coming years.”
