The Executive Committee

met on Tuesday 16th April 2013 under the chairmanship of our new Lutheran Co-Moderator, Dr Jaakko Rusama. The agenda was very full, including reorganising the committee into smaller working groups to further the Society's works between committee meetings. The arrangements for the 2014 Conference in Hungary are progressing well, and we hope to be able to advertise it soon, and it looks as if the Society's stall at the Kirchentag in Hamburg, 1st-5th May 2013, will be well manned by our members. We also received an invitation from our members in Iceland to visit the churches there in September, and made plans for our 2016 conference which will be in Erfurt, Germany. Dr Rusama was keen that the Society should be represented at all major ecumenical gatherings, and members will be attending the WCC meeting in Busan, Korea and the Conference of European Churches later this year.

The next meeting is on Tuesday 9th July 2013. If you have matters you would like to be considered, or any comments or suggestions concerning the Society and its activities, please let the Secretary know by 24th June by email at harding232@gmail.com.

The Committee would like to hear of any ecumenical activities or events that you, or people known to you, have been engaged in recently. Please let us have your news and stories via the same email address.

Visit to Iceland

The Society's members in Iceland have issued and invitations to their fellow members elsewhere in the world to visit them in September. The plan is for a programme of activities, visits and worship during the three days 7th, 8th and 9th September. The suggestion is that participants should arrange their own flights to and from Iceland. There will be a cost involved in the programme, but we cannot say exactly how much this will be until we know how many members might like to participate.

If you are interested in finding out more, please contact our Secretary, Canon Dick Lewis at dick@ccwatford.u-net.com
