His Grace
Most Rev. Archbishop Andrew S. Hutchison
80 Hayden Street
Toronto, ONM4Y 3G2
Canada.

Your Grace ,

I just learned, with deep sorrow, the passing away of Archbishop Ted Scott.
Indeed, he was a gifted minister and a strong church-leader. He served his
church with firm commitment and profound love. Archbishop Scott also served
the ecumenical movement in general and the World Council of Churches in
particular with a clear vision of the unity of the church. As Moderator of
the Central Committee of the WCC from 1975 to 1983, through his reports and
reflections, Archbishop Scott emphasized the centrality of the local church
and the critical importance of the pastoral di – mension in our ecumenical
engagement. The ecumenical movement owes a great deal to the ecumenical
contribution of Archbishop Scott.

May God accept his soul in His eternal kingdom.

Prayerfully

ARAM I
CATHOLICOS OF CILICIA
&
MODERATOR OF THE WCC
