Revd Dr Thomas F. Best, a pastor of the Christian Church (Disciples of Christ), was seconded by his church to the Commission on Faith and Order of the World Council of Churches in 1984, retiring as Director at the end of 2007. In addition to writing, producing and editing many Faith and Order and other texts, he is a former editor and book review editor of The Ecumenical Review (WCC) and Growth in Agreement III (WCC/Eerdmans).

In retirement he has edited Baptism Today (WCC/Liturgical Press) and Growth in Agreeement IV (WCC) as well as contributing to the Oxford Handbook of Ecumenical Studies, serving as President and Board Member of the North American Academy of Ecumenists, and co-teaching a course on the history of the ecumenical movement at Boston University. He is a currently a member of the International Dialogue between the Christian Church (Disciples of Christ) and the Catholic Church.

Reflecting a career-long commitment, he last spoke at the Centro Pro Unione in early 2017 on The Week of Prayer for Christian Unity as faithful witness – and challenge – to the ecumenical movement.
