[2] Fawzy was elevated to the episcopate in 2017, when he was consecrated to serve as area bishop for North Africa, the part of the diocese encompassing Algeria, Libya and Tunisia.
[4] Like his predecessor as archbishop, Fawzy has been a voice for unity and reconciliation within the Anglican Communion while still holding firmly to the traditional doctrine of marriage.
[3] Fawzy has sought to maintain relations with the instruments of communion, including attending the 2022 Lambeth Conference (which was boycotted by other traditionalist bishops), where he received a primatial cross from Archbishop of Canterbury Justin Welby.
[7] Fawzy has emphasized the role of a "covenantal" structure for Anglicanism based on the classic formularies of the Thirty-Nine Articles of Religion, the 1662 Book of Common Prayer and the Ordinal.
Citing Resolution 1:10 from the 1998 Lambeth Conference, he urged the Synod not to move forward with same-sex blessings: In our understanding of marriage and sexuality there is a red line we will never cross.
Crossing this line of blessing same-sex unions will alienate 75 percent of the Anglican Communion and endanger the ecumenical and interfaith dialogue.
In the fall of 2023, Fawzy hosted the Global South leadership in Cairo, where GSFA's June 2024 assembly is scheduled to be held.
