After serving as Lutheran Church–Canada’s Director of Communications for almost 17 years, Dr. Ian Adnams has announced he is stepping down from the post effective November 1. He and his wife, Suzanne, are moving to Vancouver.

“Words cannot describe how much I have enjoyed serving the Lord and His people for the past 17 years,” Adnams said in a letter to President Bugbee. “He brought into my life gifted, talented, devoted, faithful Christians and incredible experiences at home and overseas which I found both enriching and challenging.”

LCC’s executive will assess the current job description for the Director of Communications position along with the overall communication needs of the church before beginning the search for a replacement. To provide continuity, Dr. Adnams has expressed his willingness to serve part time from Vancouver and to accept responsibility for special assignments as needed.

“Ian’s title as ‘communications director’ doesn’t even begin to encompass everything he has been doing for God’s people over many years,” President Bugbee observed. “His wealth of experience and command of details and background on countless phases of the Synod’s life were a strength the Lord used to orient me to my work as president in this past triennium. His sharp mind and willing spirit have been such a blessing.”

Dr. Adnams is LCC’s first Director of Communications and shepherded the church through the growth and establishment of Internet communications, most recently using social media.
