On 18 December, the Chaplain-President and Secretary-General were delighted to spend the day at the American Cathedral in Paris to discuss with Bishop Mark, Archdeacon Walter Baer and the Revd Michael Rusk of the Episcopal Church USA ideas for collaboration between the Anglican Institute in Belgium and the Convocation of Episcopal Churches in Europe in the area of training European candidates for Anglican ministries in the EU. A specific idea was for the AIB to collaborate on the annual Summer School of the Convocation, to be held this year in the Universiteit Utrecht from 20 to 25 July 2025. Other ideas were shared and Jack and Stephen left the meeting very encouraged by the possibilities for mutual collaboration.
