The Rev Prof Michael Hull, Principal of the Scottish Episcopal Institute, welcomed the new appointment on behalf of the Scottish Episcopal Institute Council. He said: \u201cAnna-Claar has a passion for contextual formation and feels called to transition to Director of Contextual Formation from Director of Studies, for which recruitment will begin in due course.
