Kenneth Arthur Kearon (born 4 October 1953) is an Irish Anglican bishop.
He was Secretary General of the Anglican Consultative Council, from his commissioning on 18 January 2005[6] until late 2014.
During this time he courted controversy by suggesting in an email that he believed Archbishop Rowan Williams was 'fostering schism'.
During the Irish referendum campaign on abortion in 2018, Kearon expressed support for the removal of the constitutional ban on abortion, arguing that modern biology supports the contention of early church fathers such as Augustine and Thomas Aquinas that life does not begin at conception.
[15] Kearon holds honorary degrees from General Theological Seminary (2006),[16] and Berkeley Divinity School (2015).
