Scottish Friends of Ecumenism (SFOE) is an association of individuals and groups whose purposes till now have been:
•to express their support for Scottish Churches House, and their commitment to its work
•to seek ways of enabling people to become involved with and support the purposes and work of Action of Churches Together in Scotland
•to encourage ecumenical formation locally, nationally, and globally.
With the closure of Scottish Churches House in July 2011 SFOE are in a process of re-evaluating their aims and purpose. A task group has been set up which will produce a report with recommendations for the future. This will be presented to the AGM of SFOE in June 2012.
Meanwhile regular bi-monthly mailings are sent to members; day mini-conferences will be held three times a year; and in Edinburgh Ecumenical Friends arrange weekly lunchtime gatherings on Thursdays (September – March).
Friends' activities are coordinated by a Committee, elected at the Annual General Meeting. The office bearers for 2011/2012 are:
Convener : Rt Rev Bruce Cameron
Secretary : Rev Margaret Stewart
Treasurer and Membership Sec. : Mrs Margaret Boland
