Denominational and Ecumenical Work

In 1988, he was appointed chairman of the Division of Communications for the Northern Province of the Moravian Church. In this role he began work on the experimental "Moravian Video Magazine," a quarterly video program sent to all Moravian churches in America. He served on the Board of directors of the Greater Reading Council of Churches in Reading, Pennsylvania (now the Reading-Berks Council of Churches) and served as host of the GRCC's local Public-access television cable TV call-in program. Following Hurricane Hugo in 1989, Jackman served as coordinator for Moravian work crews to rebuild churches and schools on St Croix. In 1991, he traveled through Eastern Nicaragua documenting recovery from the aftermath of the Sandinista war.

While serving in Union, New Jersey, he helped reorganize the local Council of Churches and served as its president. He currently serves as senior pastor of Trinity Moravian Church in Winston-Salem, NC and from 2011-2013 was Chair of the Board of Elders of Salem Congregation.
