A United Church minister has been elected as the next general secretary of the World Communion of Reformed Churches. Rev. Christopher Ferguson assumes his new position Aug. 1, though he was officially installed May 18 in Hanover, Germany.
Ferguson has served in ministry in Canada, the Middle East, Latin America, and at the United Nations.
“Chris brings deep global ecumenical experience and commitment to the position and the executive was unanimous in electing him,” said Rev. Stephen Kendall, advisor to the WCRC’s executive committee, and the
PCC’s principal clerk.
The WCRC represents 80 million people around the world, with members from 229 denominations in 108 countries.
