Dr. Agnes Abuom

Moderator

World Council of Churches’ Central Committee

Dear Sister in Christ:

I was happy to learn of your election as Moderator of the World Council of Churches’ Central Committee. Please accept my most cordial greeting with the unanimous vote of confidence given to you by the members of the newly elected WCC Central Committee.

Having known you for many years, I have warm recollections of our participation in the WCC different events, as well as of your principal position on the issues of Christian morals and your ability to find a balance between sometimes intransigent attitudes. These important qualities will surely be most demanded in your new lofty ministry to Christian community.

Wholeheartedly wishing you God’s help in your guidance of the World Council of Churches, good health, and many years of life, I remain,

With love in Christ,

/+ Hilarion/

Metropolitan of Volokolamsk
