In her response, Nicola said, ‘I am grateful for this opportunity to help guide and support the work of CTBI at a critical time, in collaboration with colleagues across Britain and Ireland. It is important that we continue to build on the close working relationships that have really shown their worth as our member churches responded to the multi–layered challenges of Covid–19. The vision for reconciliation and renewal that is at the heart of our ecumenical structures has much to offer a society that is struggling with multiple threats to social cohesion, both local and global. The pandemic experience to date has demonstrated the resilience of our faith as a force for good in society and the hope–filled leadership that churches can bring when they work together for the common good.’

CTBI’s Moderator, the Revd Graham Sparkes, commented, ‘We welcome Nicola at a time of challenge and opportunity. Across our four nations and beyond there are many fractures and divisions that threaten our shared humanity, and Nicola is deeply aware of the need for CTBI to witness to the reconciling hope at the heart of our Christian faith. Her rich experience and deep commitment will guide and strengthen the ecumenical vision that guides and sustains us, and we very much look forward to her leadership amongst us.’
