| Rev. Canon Dr John Aves, honorary canon of Norwich Cathedral, United Kingdom, died of a heart attack on 25 January 2004 in Bethlehem where he was serving as a WCC ecumenical accompanier. |
| Jeremiel is also seen as an accompanier or companion in the transition from one state to another. |
| The person being accompanied and the accompanier evolve together, and the growth needs of one causes the growth of the other. |
| But the accompanier receives life also, and as people open up to each other, a communion of hearts develops between them. |
| The first step in this journey is being present: the sower, or the one who has awakened in the young person the awareness of the seed sown in his heart now becomes accompanier. |
| I've recently spent three months living and working as an ecumenical accompanier in the Israeli-occupied West Bank. |
