A New Acting General Secretary for the MECC
Habib Badr: Rev. Habib Badr, as one of the 4 President of the Middle East Council of Churches on behalf of the Evangelical Family, participated in the Executive Committee meeting of the Council held in Baabda, Lebanon on Thursday and Friday, January 25-26, 2018. In a very bold and pioneering move, the Ex. Comm. named a female, Dr. Thuraya Bachaalani, as the new “Caretaker General Secretary” of the Council.
Dr. Thuraya Bachaalani is teaching at St. Joseph's University in Beirut (SJU). She received her PhD in Religious Studies from SJU, and her PhD in Theology from the Jesuit University of Paris. May God bless her in this new position and guide her steps to strengten the ecumenical ties between churches in Middle East and worldwide.
