The informal talks between the Ecumenical Patriarchate and the
Anglican Communion took place on 19 June 2018 at the Theological School
of Halki, near Istanbul. The delegation of the Ecumenical Patriarchate
consisted of Metropolitan Athenagoras of Belgium and Exarch of the
Netherlands and Luxembourg (Orthodox co-chair of the International
Commission of the Anglican-Orthodox Theological Dialogue), Archbishop
Job of Telmessos, and Protopresbyter Christos Christakis (Orthodox
co-secretary of that Commission). The Anglican Communion was represented
by the Anglican co-president, Archbishop Richard Clarke, head of the
Anglican Church of Ireland, Bishops Nigel Stock and Michael Lewis and
Reverend Canons Dr. Will Adam and Dr. John Gibaut. The two delegations
dealt with the current issues of both the Ecumenical Patriarchate and
the Anglican Communion as well as other theological and social issues of
common interest.
