Churches Together in Britain and Ireland
Churches Together in Britain and Ireland (CTBI) is an ecumenical organisation. The members include most of the major churches in England, Scotland, Wales and Ireland. It was formerly known as the Council of Churches of Britain and Ireland. The CTBI office is located in Southwark, London; the General Secretary is Canon Bob Fyffe (of the Scottish Episcopal Church).
It was formed on September 1, 1990 as the successor to the British Council of Churches. [1] The new body, unlike its predecessor, included the Catholic Church as full members, and extended its geographic coverage to the island of Ireland.
