The Rev. Samuel Van Culin, center, emerges from his future offices
after he was named secretary-general of the Anglican Consultative Council; the
co-ordinating and program agency of the world-wide Anglican Communion.
Currently executive for world mission at the Episcopal Church Center in New
York, Van Culin will succeed Bishop John Howe who has held the post since it
was created in 1968. With Van Culin are the Primus of Scotland, the Most Rev.
A.I.M. Haggart and John Denton. Denton chairs the Council while the primus led
the search committee that chose the widely-known American priest. Van Culin
is the second Episcopalian to hold a communion-wide post. Bishop Stephen F.
Bayne was communion executive officer from 1960 until 1965.
