Stephen Butler Murray becomes ICCC executive minister

Stephen Butler Murray became the executive minister of the International Council of Community Churches, an association of Protestant congregations that is one of the smallest denominations in the National Council of Churches. 

“Stephen is committed, energetic, in­telligent, and devoted to the church of Jesus Christ in its many and varied expressions,” said Richard O. Griffith, president of the ICCC board of directors. “We will be blessed by all he brings to the council and its ecumenical witness of unity without uniformity.”

Murray will continue as president of Ecumenical Theological Seminary in Detroit, where he is also professor of systematic theology and preaching.
