The informal talks between the Ecumenical Patriarchate and the Anglican
Communion took place on 26 June 2019 in the Deanery of the Cathedral of
Canterbury (United Kingdom).
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),
Metropolitan Kallistos of Diokleia, 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 Tim Thornton and Graham Usher, Reverend Dr. Will Adam,
Reverend Canon Philip Hobson and Reverend Neil Vigers. 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.
