From Dean Markham's "Dean's Commentary" today:
7/7/2009
As the work of the Covenant group comes to an end, it is marvellous to learn that Archbishop of Canterbury has invited the Rev. A. Katherine Grieb Ph.D., to serve on a new commission, which will have oversight for Anglican ecumenical relationships. Katherine will be joining the Inter-Anglican Standing Commission for Unity, Faith and Order (IASCUFO).
This is a great honor that has been bestowed on our distinguished colleague. This Commission has important work. With the Most Rev. Bernard Ntahoturi, primate from Burundi, as the Chair, this group will be the primary vehicle for ecumenical reflection for the entire Anglican Communion. Katherine is the only scholar from the Episcopal Church on this group.
On this day, we celebrate this important work for our Church. We are grateful that Katherine is willing to serve; and we are delighted that the Archbishop of Canterbury has recognized the gift we have in Katherine. She has an exceptional and penetrating mind, deeply grounded in Scripture, and committed to doing what she can to further the kingdom. Please do pray for Katherine as she does this work. It is important part of her service to our church.
The Very Rev Ian Markham
Dean and President
