Jack Lumanog is president-elect of the Cornell College Alumni Association Board of Directors and the first person of color named to this position since its establishment in 1873.

In April 2019, Jack was ordained a bishop in the Anglican Diocese of St. Ignatius Loyola. The diocese, headquartered in Atlanta, seeks “to raise up multicultural churches that are firmly rooted in the Anglican tradition and fully alive to the power of the Holy Spirit.”

Previously Jack was chief operating officer of the Anglican Church in North America, responsible for overseeing 1,050 congregations in the U.S., Canada and Mexico. He also served as corporate secretary and trustee of the Anglican Relief and Development Fund-US, the giving arm of the Anglican Church. The Diocese of St. Ignatius Loyola is part of Apostolic Communion of Anglican Churches and is unrelated to the Anglican Church in North America.

Jack is a lieutenant colonel and volunteer chaplain in U.S. Air Force Auxiliary Civil Air Patrol. He has had a number of leadership roles here, including serving as special assistant to the national chief of chaplains. He was honored on separate occasions as chaplain of the year by the Kansas and Great Lakes regions of the organization.

He is a lifelong martial artist with a 4th degree master black belt and has won several titles in competitions sponsored by the North American Sport Karate Association.

He holds a master of divinity degree from St. Paul Theological Seminary and a doctorate in counseling and administration from Andersonville Theological Seminary.

A native of Hoboken, N.J., Jack majored in religion at Cornell, with minors in theater and communications, music, psychology, and education. He worked on KRNL and was a member of the Fellowship of Christian Athletes. “My religion degree shaped me into the theologian I am today,” Jack wrote. “Ebersole Student Health Clinic saved my life as I struggled with depression. The treatment I received there established a pattern of metal wellness I carry to this day.”
