The head of the Anglican Church in New Zealand, Archbishop David Moxon, has been appointed to represent the worldwide Anglican movement in Rome.
Hamilton-based Archbishop Moxon, 61, will resign from his New Zealand position in April to take up a three- to five-year term as the Anglican Representative to the Holy See.
He will also continue to lead the Anglican side of the Anglican-Roman Catholic International Commission, a role he has filled from New Zealand for the past two years.
He has led the Pakeha part of the NZ Anglican Church since 2006 and has been Bishop of Waikato since 1993, when he was the country's youngest bishop. He said moving to Rome was "a huge responsibility".
"People took the initiative in suggesting it some time ago. I have had to wrestle with it," he said.

Spiritually sick and aloof and you all don't even know it. The ability for Protestantism to stand relies on its relation with Christ...not Catholics. As a consequence we call God a liar when we forsake our ordainment to resist and reject 'Rome'.
Only the few realize; as The Church popularly is such.
