Some Famous People called Derek Jones

Derek Jones (bishop)

Derek L. S. Jones (born 1961) is an American Anglican bishop in the College of Bishops of the Anglican Church in North America (ACNA) and the Church of Nigeria (Anglican Communion). He remained a bishop of the Convocation of Anglicans in North America (CANA) until its dissolution in 2020. As the first Bishop of the Diocese of the Armed Forces and Chaplaincy (Church of Nigeria), he also serves as the Bishop of the Armed Forces and Chaplaincy for the Special Jurisdiction of the Armed Forces and Chaplaincy (ACNA). In his position as the Bishop Ordinary, he trains, educates, ordains and directs the activities of all Anglican Chaplains who require formal ecclesiastical endorsement for the ACNA, the Church of Nigeria North American Mission (CONNAN), and other participating Anglican bodies.

In January 2021, Bishop Jones began his tenure as the Executive Director of the Chaplain Alliance for Religious Liberty (CALL). In this role, he regularly partners with First Liberty Institute, Becket Fund for Religious Liberty, and Alliance Defending Freedom (ADF) in defending Religious Liberty in the United States Armed Forces, with particular attention to matters involving chaplains and right of conscience issues.

Given his experience and expertise in areas related to Religious Liberty, Bishop Jones was asked to serve as the Chairman of the newly formed and bi-partisan group called "Our Faith Under Fire" in September of 2021. According to their website, this 501(c)4 was created to address more directly the Religious Liberty, Free Exercise, and right of conscience concerns in our US Armed Forces that have developed in recent years. Our Faith Under Fire released in November of 2021 the "Washington Declaration" which addresses the increased intolerance and political indifference toward service members of all faiths seeking to exercise their Constitutionally protected rights. Our Faith Under Fire is currently the only 501(c)4 specifically created to address these matters in our US Armed Forces.
