Francis Daw Tang is the current Bishop of the Catholic Diocese of Myitkyina, in Kachin State, Myanmar. Since 2003, Daw Tang, an ethnic Kachin, has been the primary clergyman in Myitkyina, overseeing more than 40 priests and often making executive decisions on a variety of projects currently undertaken by the Roman Catholic Church in the highly under-developed region of northern Burma. During his time as bishop, Daw Tang has frequently petitioned government, military and paramilitary organizations to resolve conflicts and push towards a meaningful peace process in order to mitigate death and displacement.
