Hewitt, son of Indian and Barbadian parents, became a priest in the Church of England in 2005 and is currently an honorary senior research fellow with the Institute of Commonwealth Studies at the University of London.
"I am humbled by the confidence of those who have chosen me to serve as the inaugural director and look forward to what I plan to be a participatory and inclusive process of restoration," Hewitt said of his appointment. "The Commission on Racial Justice is an important step toward the Church becoming truly one in Christ Jesus."
