Full information from CEC about the vacancy can be downloaded.
The Conference of European Churches (CEC) is in search of a new General Secretary, lay or ordained, with a passion for ecumenism and Europe, as well as the skill to take on a body doing excellent work that nevertheless believes it can do more in implementing its strategy and attracting new funding. This kind of leadership requires high levels of character, competence and conviction, as well as the desire to nurture a distinctively Christian ethic and heartbeat.
CEC’s outgoing General Secretary leaves the organisation in a position of real strength – recent years have seen a much-improved organisational structure and maturity, a clearer sense of purpose for everyone in the CEC fellowship and the successful design of its strategy – Call and Witness – that has shaped its flagship program, Pathways to Peace, developed in response to the war in Ukraine.
About CEC
The Conference of European Churches (CEC) is a growing fellowship of 114 Member Churches (Anglican and Old Catholic, Orthodox and Protestant), drawn from all over Europe and engages in dialogue with European institutions in Brussels and Strasbourg, promoting peace and reconciliation, raising concerns and shaping the future of Europe.
CEC has its origins in the time of the Cold War when it was almost the only forum in which Christians from the Eastern and Western Blocs could meet, deliberate, and pray together. CEC has a long commitment to dialogue with the Roman Catholic Church in Europe, a dialogue that has borne fruit concretely in the Charta Oecumenica. CEC works together with Organisations in Partnerships and National Council of Churches.
