[The Living Church] 16 Aug 2008--Assisting Bishop Henry Scriven of Pittsburgh will be leaving the diocese and returning to his native England to take up a new position as part of plans to integrate the South American Missionary Society (SAMS) and the Church Mission Society (CMS).

The CMS and SAMS are planning to join together progressively from January 2009, subject to final negotiations and decisions by their respective governing bodies.

Bishop Scriven will initially work in a leadership role within SAMS but it is planned that he will ultimately become the Mission Director for South America for the new joint entity, according to release prepared by the Diocese of Pittsburgh.
