Anthony Poggo named Anglican Communion secretary general
Anthony Poggo, a South Sudanese bishop who was forced with his family into exile before he was a year old, has been named as the next secretary general of the Anglican Communion. Poggo, the former bishop of Kajo Keji in the Episcopal Church of South Sudan, is currently the archbishop of Canterbury’s adviser on Anglican Communion affairs.
He will take up his new role in September, succeeding Josiah Idowu-Fearon, who is stepping down this summer.
