During the gathering, Rev Botrus Mansour was installed as the new Secretary General of the WEA, ending a year and a half vacancy in the top position. Hailing from Nazareth, Rev Mansour brings a wealth of experience to the role as a former lawyer who has held various leadership positions across church and educational bodies in the Holy Land, including Co-Chairman of the Lausanne Initiative for Reconciliation Israel-Palestine.
Speaking to reporters, he said he was filling “large shoes” and that while his new appointment was “overwhelming”, he was “here to serve”.
In his first address as Secretary General of the WEA on Thursday night, he said it was “special” to be appointed Secretary General as a Palestinian Christian from Israel, and coming so soon after the ceasefire agreement reached with Hamas.
