The Rev. Kevin Donlon

Bishop Chuck Murphy, in consultation with theAM’s Council of Bishops, has appointed the Rev. Kevin Donlon to serve as Canon for Ecclesiastical Affairs. In this role, Kevin will continue to provide advice and counsel on matters of church order, particularly about the complexities of canon law and ecclesiological principles. In addition, Kevin will assist in promoting a greater understanding of the norms of the Church in general and Anglicanism in particular with a focus on how the Province of Rwanda relates to the wider church.
