Deputy general secretary moves
to local churches
The Revd Ray Adams, deputy general secretary
of the United Reformed Church, is to leave his post to minister to three
churches in North London. They are at Palmers Green, Winchmore Hill and
Ponders End, all in the London Borough of Enfield and in the Church’s
Thames North Synod.
He has previously served as a synod moderator
and as a missionary in Taiwan with the Council for World Mission. Now,
as he approaches the age of 60, he is choosing to return to a local
pastorate for his final years of ministry.
He said: “In fourteen years as synod moderator
and deputy general secretary, I have been privileged to drop in and out
of many local communities. In the years I have left, I want to be more
deeply involved in a local area, helping local churches ‘equip the
saints’ for new forms of ministry, and participate with them in the
mission opportunities and challenges they are facing”.
The appointment requires the concurrence of
the Church’s local area committee but is expected to be from January
next year.
