Abhy Thomas has been chosen as the new Chair of the CNSC. Abhy has been involved with Catholic Charismatic Renewal for over 20 years through the international Catholic movement, Jesus Youth. He has served the Lord through Jesus Youth in various capacities, including as the first Youth Coordinator in the UK, two terms as Jesus Youth UK National Coordinator, and a member of the Jesus Youth international council.
Abhy is now looking forward to the new role and is thankful for the encouragement and prayer support he has received.
He told CHARIS England and Wales: "The words I’ve been receiving through the intercession network and from several of you in the last few weeks are filling me with so much hope for what the Lord has in store for us, the Church, and this land. May His will be done, and may we allow ourselves to be channels of His grace."
Abhy has led and spoken at various charismatic events both in the UK and across Europe. Abhy has a great passion for creative and new ways of evangelization in a digital world and a heart for forming young missionary disciples. Living in Maulden with his wife Saumya and their four young children, Abhy is part of the executive leadership team of a multinational organisation. He has high hopes for CHARIS England and Wales.
"I also sense deeply that the Lord is going to use CHARIS to lead the Church in England and Wales and to guide this country into a new springtime," he said.
"As we prepare for the great jubilee, I sense a new evangelical mandate emerging. An evangelical mandate that will unite and build bridges among communities, expressions, and denominations, to carry the message of Christ to every corner of this country."
Abhy was quick to pay tribute to the 'vision' and 'leadership' of his predecessor Maria Heath
He said: "Thank you, Maria, for your selflessness, commitment, sacrifices, focus, vision, determination, care, patience, and leadership over the last few years. You've guided CCR in England & Wales through its transition to CHARIS, you've laid the foundations for CCR to be a gift not just for a few but for the whole Church.
"We started to transition to CHARIS in the midst of COVID, and your guidance was invaluable during that period. Last year's overflow was possible only because of your vision and determination, a true blessing to the nation. Thank you again for your leadership. While we'll miss your wisdom and presence in the CNSC meetings, I'm certain you'll still be around to support, guide, and, most importantly, pray for us.”
