ANITEPAM seeks new Corresponding Secretary

The Chair of the ANITEPAM Governing Council, The Very Revd Victor Atta-Baffoe, has announced that the Revd Mike McCoy intends to resign as Corresponding Secretary with effect from 31 December 2006.

The ANITEPAM Governing Council now seeks a suitable person to take over the work of Corresponding Secretary from 1 January 2007, or as soon as possible after that date.

In a related development, the Primates' working group Theological Education for the Anglican Communion (TEAC) has announced that it wants to appoint one or two Regional Associates, to be based in Africa, to promote its work.

TEAC and ANITEPAM are willing to consider jointly appointing a suitable person to these positions.

For more information about the TEAC positions, contact Dr Clare Amos, Secretary to TEAC.

Former Corresponding Secretaries

The first two Corresponding Secretaries—The Revd Dr Leon P. Spencer (1993-1998) and Canon Fareth Sendegeya (1998-2003)—were full time members of staff on their respective theological colleges when they were appointed, and served ANITEPAM half-time during their terms.

In contrast, Mike McCoy was a diocesan coordinator of theological education at the time of his appointment in 2003. In 2004 he left diocesan employ to serve the TEE College of Southern Africa part-time, alongside ANITEPAM.

The next Corresponding Secretary will most likely be a person currently serving on the staff of a theological college, although other patterns of service are possible.

Anyone wishing to see a job description or apply for the position of Corresponding Secretary should contact Dean Victor Atta-Baffoe at St Nicholas Seminary, PO Box A-162, Cape Coast, Ghana; e-mail: <victorattabaffoe@yahoo.com>.

Background

Mike was appointed to the job in July 2003, succeeding Canon Fareth Sendegeya of Tanzania.

He has now been invited to become an assistant parish priest in the Diocese of Port Elizabeth.
