Jan comes to the Anglican Communion Office after more than eight years at one of the world’s largest relief, development and advocacy organisations World Vision. Most recently he was Head of Global Advocacy Communications for World Vision’s international office. Previously he spent several years working at the organisation’s UN Liaison Office in New York, and at its offices in Sri Lanka and the UK. He was a journalist for several newspapers including the Western Mail in Cardiff, Wales.

“The Anglican Communion is a wealth of inspiring and exciting stories crying out to be shared,” said Canon Kearon. “Jan’s experience of strategic thinking and global communications will prove invaluable in enabling the Communion to shine a light on the very best Anglicanism has to offer.”

Jan, who is married to Jennifer, lives in Oxfordshire with their two children.
