Patrick Robert David Kearon (born 18 July 1961) is a British religious leader serving as a member of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (LDS Church).[3] He has been a general authority of the church since 2010 and was a member of the Presidency of the Seventy from August 2017 to December 2023.[4] On 1 August 2020, Kearon became the senior president of the seventy,[5] becoming the first in this role to have been born outside the United States since the reconstitution of the Presidency of the Seventy in 1975.[citation needed] As a member of the Quorum of the Twelve, Kearon is accepted by the LDS Church as a prophet, seer, and revelator. Currently, he is the junior and fifteenth most senior apostle in the church.[6]
