NCCI learns with sorrow the passing away of Mr. Samuel M. Isaac. He was residing in Chennai.
Rev. Dr. Henriette Hutabarat Lebang, General Secretary, Christian Conference of Asia, writes:
"Sam is very close to the
hearts of many church leaders and ecumenical friends in Asia, especially
through the development programs that he was co-ordinating. Sam came to CCA as Secretary for Inter-Church
Aid & Development from 1971 - 1975 with a passion for assisting the
churches across borders to support each other especially in enabling Asian
churches to address economic difficulties and poverty in Asia, by facilitating
various development programs in Asian communities.
He brought his rich experience and commitment to empowering the churches in Asia to respond to the mission of God amidst the sufferings of Asian people. This collaboration continued when Sam served as a staff of the World Council of Churches."
