Secretary General of the Anglican Communion Revd Canon Kenneth Kearon 
is pleased to announce the appointment of Jan Butter as the 
Communion's new Director for Communications.

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.
