The Council for World Mission (CWM) welcomes Janet Marie McConnell as the Mission Secretary (MS) for Social Justice and the Caribbean Region. McConnell began her appointment on 1 January 2025.
As MS for Social Justice, McConnell will develop proposals and strategies for guiding member churches in the mission of social justice and advocating for the poor and marginalised while being based at CWM’s London Office.
“CWM, in my opinion, has come to represent itself as an organisation that offers ever-evolving opportunities to advance the cause of Jesus Christ for all of God’s creation,” said McConnell.
“It is to this that I find alignment and look forward to making my contribution as a member of the CWM team, and to add to the heritage of the organisation’s work.”
McConnell has also served with CWM as a former Trustee.
She has served the United Church in Jamaica and the Cayman Islands (UCJCI) for 17 years as Deputy General Secretary, Director of Education for Ministry and Mission, Coordinator of Mission Programmes, and Manager of Human and Mission Resources.
