Robert Gordon
With the new direction of St Paul's Institute in 2009, Robert took over responsibility of the day-to-day management of the organisation including facilitation of the Institute's event programme and agenda; administration of social media and the Institute website; and the creation and editing of online video resources for the cathedral as a whole. He finished his work at St Paul's Cathedral in March 2017 to take up a position at Lambeth Palace and also sits on the Steering Group of JustShare, a coalition of churches and charities committed to global development and social justice that operates out of St Mary-le-Bow Church, Cheapside.
Originally from Australia, he received a B.A. (Hons) from Melbourne University with a degree in Anthropology. He continued his studies by relocating to the UK and receiving an M.A. in Museum Studies from University College London whilst volunteering for a number of cultural heritage and church-based organisations. A keen and active writer, he has particular interest in reconciling faith and morality with notions of success and progress that the modern world is centred upon.Articles and Opinions by this author
