The Secretary General intends to appoint a Director for Communications to implement this vision. The post will be based at St Andrew’s House, London and will involve providing leadership and support across the full range of communication roles, both internal and external. The development and implementation of a communications strategy including the editing of the website are current priorities.
The candidate will:
* Have an understanding of and be sympathetic to the life and work of the Anglican Communion;
* Have significant experience in the field of communications, including the development of appropriate strategies for a variety of situations;
* Have experience of working collaboratively as part of a team, and of managing staff;
* Have experience of Website editing and development, with appropriate technical skills;
* Have excellent writing and personal communications skills;
* Be familiar with modern IT, and its application in a modern office context;
* Be prepared and able to travel extensively throughout the Anglican Communion and elsewhere.
Hopefully the candidate will be able to translate from Rowaneeze into plain English.
It’s not all that hard – the Pope understood in a bare 20 minutes.
Hmmmmm……
Which outright revisionist did they tailor this job description for?
#2. Adam 12,
I think the ABC was mostly listening to the Pope and hope he understood. Nancy Pelosi has been a bit quieter about her “Catholic” faith since her “Audience” with the Pope.
Does the successful candidate have to be a Christian? Just asking.
#3 tj, I’m well familiar with, and have in the past practiced, the art of tailoring a job description such that only a particular person in mind would fill the bill. (In fact, on one of those occasions it was my own job description that I wrote, when I had to be re-hired through a different agency for the post I already was filling.)
However, there always remains the possibility of someone appearing out of the blue who fits the qualifications admirably, and lamentably even better than the favored person in mind.
#5-
I’m mostly just grumpy over the radical shift to the left +Rowan has taken, rhetorically, since writing his reasonable response to GC.
Also noting that the current communications staff remains silent on the meeting of the section 4 revision committee that supposedly met a week ago (did the meeting even take place?- some “communications” office).
I rest assured that with Kenneth Kearon having last say on this one, we have no need to fear open and honest communication for the balance of my lifetime.
Per usual, I am praying to be proven wrong.

TJ, with the forces of TEC and its allies in control of (most of) the levers of power in the Anglican Communion, and backed up by +Cantuar, a Canterbury-led Communion begins to look less and less attractive. I guess we’ll have to watch just where Synod takes CoE. That may be the last linchpin that might hold the Communion together.
