Sonia Omulepu, who had served as special projects officer for the U.S. office of the World Council of Churches, has been appointed coordinator for the Interfaith Education Initiative, a joint venture of Episcopal Relief and Development and the Office of Ecumenical and Interfaith Relations.
She began her career at the Episcopal Church Center as part of the General Convention Special Program. For almost 20 years she was assistant to the executive director of the African American Council of the Reformed Church in America where she edited the monthly newsletter, planned annual conferences and designed the annual colloquium on Black Religion. At the WCC office she planned preparatory meetings for key events and coordinated the logistics of meetings in the U.S.
She is a member of the congregation of St. Savior at the Cathedral of St. John the Divine in New York where she serves as a member of the vestry.
Ethan Flad has been named editor of The Witness magazine, responsible for the bi-monthly print publication and regular on-line commentary. 'We are pleased to have Ethan energize the prophetic voice of The Witness,' said Bishop Jane Holmes Dixon, president of Episcopal Church Publishing. 'Never has this work been more necessary than at this crucial time. Ethan's tireless work in grassroots justice organizing and advocacy make him the right person for this challenge.'
During his international justice work at the Church Center in New York and Grace Cathedral in San Francisco, Flad has traveled extensively in southern Africa, the Middle East, Asia, Central and South America. Since 2001 he has been web editor and producer for A Globe of Witnesses, an on-line initiative.
The Witness has been a progressive and prophetic voice in the church since 1917, honored with many awards for its special blend of analysis, opinion and reflection using essays, poetry, and photography.
