Peter Ng installed as honorary canon at Philippines Episcopal cathedral

From ENS-

Peter Ng, the Episcopal Church’s partnership officer for Asia and the Pacific, has been named an honorary lay canon of the Episcopal Church in the Philippines’ National Cathedral of St. Mary and St. John in Quezon City, Philippines.

The appointment was formally conferred by the Most Rev. Edward P. Malecdan, prime bishop of the Episcopal Church in the Philippines (ECP), during Holy Eucharist on Aug. 5 at the cathedral.

Introducing Ng to the cathedral congregation, Malecdan described Ng as a very close friend to the ECP, acknowledging “his huge task” in taking care of “cooperation and companionship between TEC and other Anglican/Episcopal churches in our region.

“According to Anglican and Roman Catholic tradition, the ceremonial position of an honorary lay canon ‘is conferred or given to a person who performs distinguished services such as establishing and strengthening relationships and partnerships between governments or churches, and between groups and individuals,’” Malecdan said. “In short, the person is an ambassador of friendship and reconciliation, to say the least. Peter Ng has been more than that to us in the ECP.”
