Elizabeth Awut Ngor

Elizabeth Awut Ngor is a South Sudanese Anglican bishop. She serves as an assistant bishop in the Diocese of Rumbek of the Episcopal Church of South Sudan, having been consecrated a bishop on 31 December 2016 by Daniel Deng Bul, Archbishop of Juba. She is the first woman to become a bishop in a province of the Anglican Communion that aligns itself with GAFCON, a conservative Anglican movement that disapproves of homosexuality, and supports affirming traditional Christian beliefs about women and their role in the Church.

Controversy
Awut Ngor's consecration as a bishop had not be publicly announced until the retirement of Deng in January 2018. Her consecration has been controversial. During a meeting of GAFCON primates in 2014, they agreed not to consecrate women as bishops until a task force into the matter had completed their report. Deng had not attended at this meeting of primates. This conclusion was accepted by the GAFCON primates. ==References==
