Ecumenical Officers

An Ecumenical Officer is appointed to encourage, assist, and resource Christian unity in a particular area or network. A key part of their work is to connect, encourage and communicate.

Training and on-going events are offered to all Ecumenical Officers:

Denominational Ecumenical Officers (DEOs) are appointed by their Church (Diocese, District, Synod etc) and are supported both by their National Ecumenical Officer and by their County Ecumenical Officer.
County Ecumenical Officers (often with different job titles) are appointed by Intermediate Ecumenical Bodies and are supported by all CTE staff. Jenny Bond is often the first port of call. We provide them with a private area of the website.
National Ecumencial Officers meet regularly and are supported by Paul Goodliff. They too have a private area of the website.
