Today we launched a programme mentoring young leaders in LOI. A group of Evangelical and Orthodox leaders from around the world joined some board members, and shared what they are doing to engage across the traditions. Irini Pantellou and Grace al-Zoughbi didn’t make it but they are also part of this group. You will see these faces (and the older board members’ faces) at LOI events in the future.
