The Most Reverend Dr Peter Kong-kit Kwong (Traditional Chinese: 鄺廣傑) is the first Archbishop and Primate of Hong Kong Sheng Kung Hui and Bishop of the Diocese of Hong Kong Island since 1981 (not an archdiocese at the time). His contributions to the community of Hong Kong are wide and varied. In 1998 he was installed as the first Chinese Archbishop of the Anglican Church. He is Advisor to the Amity Foundation of China, Vice-President of the Church Missionary Society, and patron of Comfort Care and Concern, an organization for the terminally ill. In recognition of his work, the University of Hong Kong awarded him the Doctor of Divinity honoris causa.
