Edward Joseph Adams (born August 24, 1944) is an American prelate of the Roman Catholic Church who has served in the diplomatic service of the Holy See since 1976. He has been the Apostolic Nuncio to Great Britain since April 8, 2017, and under that title plays the role of ambassador to the United Kingdom.

Early life

Adams was born in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania (USA), on August 24, 1944.[1] After his elementary education in Catholic grammar schools, he attended St. Joseph's Preparatory School, Villanova University, and Philadelphia's St. Charles Theological Seminary. He was ordained a priest on May 16, 1970,[1] by John Joseph Cardinal Krol, the Archbishop of Philadelphia.

He graduated from the Pontifical Ecclesiastical Academy with a degree in canon law in 1976.

Diplomatic service of the Holy See

He entered the diplomatic service of the Holy See on 8 March 1976. He held positions in the office of the Secretary of State and in Rwanda, Kenya, Honduras, Ireland, Denmark and the Czech Republic.[1]

Adams was appointed Apostolic Nuncio to Bangladesh and Titular Archbishop of Scala, on August 24, 1996.[1] He was consecrated on October 23 of that year by Angelo Cardinal Sodano, the Papal Secretary of State. His principal co-consecrators were Anthony Joseph Cardinal Bevilacqua and John Patrick Cardinal Foley.

After six years as Papal Representative in Bangladesh, Adams was named Nuncio to Zimbabwe on August 22, 2002,[1] and on September 3, 2007, he was appointed Apostolic Nuncio to the Philippines.[2]

On February 22, 2011, he was appointed papal nuncio to Greece[3] and on April 8, 2017, he was named to replace Archbishop Antonio Mennini as Apostolic Nuncio to Great Britain.[4][5][6] Though his title names Great Britain, he plays the role of ambassador to the United Kingdom.[7]

It was reported in February 2019 that Adams had failed to respond to repeated requests to provide information to the UK's Independent Inquiry into Child Sexual Abuse, but could not be compelled to give evidence due to his diplomatic immunity.[8]

Honours

  • Grand Cross ('Μεγαλόσταυρος'), Order of the Phoenix (Greece), May 16, 2017.[9]
