WSCF’s General Secretary Rev. Michael Wallace has announced that he will stand down in May this year. Mr. Wallace (39) was elected by WSCF’s 33rd General Assembly in 2004 and re-elected at the 34th General Assembly in 2008.
Mr. Wallace said: ‘It has been a profound privilege to serve WSCF in this capacity. I thank God for the opportunity to serve the ecumenical movement and the Student Christian Movement in this role’.
Mr. Wallace is a priest of the Anglican Church in Aotearoa New Zealand and Polynesia. He will return to Dunedin, New Zealand to be priest of the All Saints parish on the campus of the University of Otago and to be chaplain to a university college (Selwyn College).
Mr. Wallace said: ‘I am not leaving the Federation; I will remain committed to this wonderful Movement. I firmly believe in the crucial role that WSCF has to transform students, the church, the ecumenical movement and society. I firmly believe in the importance of a global community of ecumenically, theologically and politically engaged students. I will continue to pray for the Federation and be a supportive senior friend’.
WSCF’s Executive Committee will choose the new General Secretary at their meeting in April. Applications for the position close on February 28th.
