  It is our aim to have a National Coordinator in every country where there are   members. They keep members in touch with one another and, where appropriate,   arrange local meetings and events. They also keep the wider membership up to date   with ecumenical developments in their own country.

  At present there are National Coordinators in each of the following countries:

  Denmark : The Rev Ulla Monberg

  Finland : The Rev Dr Jaakko Rusama

  Germany : The Rev Holger Harrack

  Iceland : The Rev Bjarni Bjarnason

  Norway : The Rev Jacob Knudsen

  Sweden : Mrs Gunnel Borgegard
