Commission for Christian Unity and Dialogue – Networks

The Commission for Christian Unity and Dialogue appoints representatives to the various networks it is associated with.  With the advancement of electronic communication many of these networks converse through email groups/forums thus greatly reducing costs and increasing interaction.  These networks include:  Anglican Affairs, Network for Inter Faith Concerns (NIFCON), Churches Together in Britain and Ireland (CTBI) and Church Action on Labour and Life (CALL).  

Full information on the networks may be found below.  The Network coordinator is the Revd N. Sloane, Hon Records Secretary of the Commission for Christian Unity and Dialogue.
