Stephen Leung

Stephen Wing Hong Leung is a Canadian bishop. Since 2009, he has served as suffragan bishop with responsibility for Asian and multicultural ministry in the Anglican Diocese of Canada, a diocese of the Anglican Church in North America formerly known as the Anglican Network in Canada (ANiC).

Biography Leung studied at Wycliffe College in Toronto, after which he was ordained in Hong Kong Sheng Kung Hui. He served as a curate in Hong Kong and then for several years as a pastor in Macau. In 1990, he was called as rector of the Anglican Church of the Good Shepherd, a predominantly ethnic Chinese congregation in the Diocese of New Westminster in Vancouver.

In 2002, after the New Westminster synod controversially approved the blessing of same-sex unions, Leung joined the Good Shepherd delegates, along with delegates from seven other churches, in walking out of synod in objection. Leung and the other dissenting leaders formed a group called the Anglican Communion in New Westminster, declared impaired communion with Bishop Michael Ingham, and requested alternative episcopal oversight—including, eventually, requests for oversight from Global South Anglican primates.

As the Anglican realignment proceeded in Canada, Church of the Good Shepherd voted unanimously to disaffiliate from New Westminster in February 2008. Good Shepherd sought oversight from the Anglican Church of the Southern Cone and joined ANiC.
