Two prominent Anglican ecumenists were awarded the King Charles III Coronation Medal June 20: Canon Alyson Barnett-Cowan, former president of the Canadian Council of Churches and Archdeacon Edward Simonton, vicar general and archdeacon of the diocese of Quebec. They were nominated by the Canadian Council of Churches and the Anglican Orthodox International Theological Dialogue, respectively. The medal is awarded to people throughout the British Commonwealth commemorating the occasion of King Charles’ coronation. Simonton, meanwhile, was honoured for his work building dialogue between the Anglican Church of Canada and the Oriental Orthodox family of churches. Simonton’s work has involved visiting patriarchs and senior clergy from Oriental Orthodox churches and building bridges theologically and interpersonally.
