COB Hires David Field as New Ecumenical Staff Officer
WASHINGTON, D.C. - The Council of Bishops (COB) of The United Methodist Church (UMC) has hired Dr. David N. Field as the new Ecumenical Staff Officer for Faith & Order and Theological Dialogue. Dr. Field, a member of the UMC Central and Southern Europe Central Conference, replaces the Rev. Kyle Tau, PhD. In his new role, Dr. Field will provide staff support to the bi-lateral dialogues and full-communion coordinating committees of the UMC, especially related to the Episcopal Church, Catholic Church, Moravian Church, and Evangelical Lutheran Church in America relationships.
“We are excited to add Dr. Field to our staff, not only due to his significant Wesleyan theological contributions to The United Methodist Church already, but also because he comes with a global, ecumenical perspective and its relationships,” Bishop Dyck said. “He is well-known to many leaders in the UMC and we look forward to the ways that he can resource the Council of Bishops in our theological work at this very crucial time in our church.”
