General secretary and six staff quit Latin American church group

The Latin American Council of Churches says its general secretary and six other staff members have resigned from the church body that groups about 140 mainly Protestant churches in the region, reports Ecumenical News International. "We share with you our sadness for the resignation of general secretary Israel Batista together with other regional and programme secretaries," the council's board of directors said in a letter issued after a meeting in Panama at which the staff tendered their resignations. The announcement appeared to take observers of church affairs in Latin America by surprise, and the board of directors made no mention of any reasons for the resignations.
