Anthony Poggo (born 1964) is a South Sudanese Anglican bishop. Since 2022, he has been the secretary general of the Anglican Consultative Council and head of the Anglican Communion Office.[1]
During his childhood, Poggo's father, an Anglican priest, took his children to Uganda to flee the first Sudanese Civil War. They returned in 1973.[2] Poggo was educated at the University of Juba and Oxford Brookes University.[3]
Poggo worked for the Scripture Union. He was ordained a deacon in 1995 and a priest in 1996. He then joined Across, a Christian mission agency working in Sudan, eventually becoming its executive director.[4] In 2007 he was elected bishop of Kajo-Keji, a position he held until 2016 when he moved to Lambeth Palace to support Archbishop of Canterbury Justin Welby as his adviser on Anglican Communion affairs.[5] In 2022, he succeeded Josiah Idowu-Fearon as secretary-general of the Anglican Communion.
