About Jarrod McKenna

Jarrod has worked across Australia and internationally as a pastor, communicator, movement-builder and trainer. He was the founding National Director of Common Grace and former advisor and consultant with World Vision Australia and World Vision Middle East/Eastern Europe as Nonviolent Social Change Advisor.

He is the newly appointed Mobilisation Strategist for Act for Peace. His role is to build a courageous movement for peace with justice by connecting, equipping, and empowering communities of faith to act collectively. 

With a deep commitment to peace, justice, refugee solidarity and grassroots action, Jarrod believes faith is expressed in how we stand with those who are vulnerable, displaced or excluded. “I think any organisation where the byline is confronting injustice together plays a crucial role at this moment in history”, says Jarrod. “Making love practical is some of the most radical political work we can do at the moment.”

The poet theologian, Pádraig Ó Tuama, says this of Jarrod: “In the time of mass distraction. Jarrod McKenna keeps steady. He focuses on justice and what love looks like in public. His words remind us of who we are meant to be with each other. His is a vital message for groups of people concerned about politics, about mercy, about inclusion and about power.

It promises to be a lively and engaging event. We hope to see you there!
