Veronica and Malcolm White

Church Mission Society

Veronica and Malcolm are based at the Church of the Redeemer. Malcolm is the new Chaplain to the English speaking congregation.  

When those from CMS first came to Amman they found a small city that had recently been chosen as Emir Abdullah's new capital. They decided on Jabal Amman, another of the city's seven hills, as a site for their work, and thus today it is on this hill, just half a mile to the west of the ancient citadel, that two large schools and the Anglican Church of the Redeemer continue the work of nurturing Christian faith to all who would draw near. All are now part of the Anglican Diocese of Jerusalem under its present Bishop, the Rt. Rev. Ria-Abu El-Assal.

We remember that this region which we now call Jordan was almost completely Christian before Muslim rule came here in the Eighth Century A.D., and this faithful community, which proudly asserts its origins in the Pentecost Assembly of Acts Ch.2 has roots that easily precede  the coming of Christianity to England.

Letters from Jordan are included in the church newsletters.
