Church center communication director to step down

ENS:

Canon Robert Williams, who in July will mark four years as senior director in the Episcopal Church Center’s Communication Office, has chosen to step down from this position effective August 15, Chief Operating Officer Linda E. Watt announced June 25.

Plans call for naming an interim director and the subsequent selection of a successor through a search process that consults widely with communication stakeholders across the church, Watt said.

Williams, 47, served as one of the Episcopal Church’s principal spokespersons, notably during the 2004 Windsor Report release, the Anglican Consultative Council’s 2005 meeting in Nottingham, the 2006 General Convention at which Jefferts Schori was elected Presiding Bishop, and the Anglican Primates’ 2007 meeting in Dar es Salaam.

As editor of the Lambeth Conference’s daily newspaper in 1998, Williams gained experience that will assist in interpreting events of this summer’s similar gathering in Canterbury.
