“Churches Together presidents hail ‘year of celebration’ ” Christian Today [UK]. January 27, 2012

The Presidents of Churches Together in England (CTE) have heralded 2012 as a “year of celebration.”

With the Olympic Games and torch relays, and the Queen’s Diamond Jubilee all on the horizon, they say the four month period of May to September will provide opportunities for people to gather and celebrate together “in ways which will both enhance and deepen community life.”

The CTE Presidents are the Moderator of the United Reformed Churches, the Rev. Michael Heaney; the Archbishop of Canterbury, Dr. Rowan Williams; the Archbishop of Westminster, Vincent Nichols; and the head of the Lutheran Church in Great Britain, the Rt. Rev. Jana Jeruma-Grinberga.
