Since moving to Rome as the Anglican Communion's ambassador to the Catholic Church, former Bishop of Waikato, David Moxon, has met the Pope and run out of Marmite.
Luckily, while he won't get to see Pope Francis again until December 21, it's likely his stocks of Marmite should be replenished by then.
Archbishop Moxon joined Justin Welby who, as the Archbishop of Canterbury is the Anglican Communion's most senior churchman, in the meeting in Rome on Friday (Italian time).
"It was a very memorable day, a very moving day," Archbishop Moxon told the Waikato Times via Skype. "I will never forget it."
It was the first time all three had met, since they had all been appointed in recent months.
"He was like a sort of favourite uncle," the Archbishop said of the new Pope. "Very loving very humble . . . he gave his own chair up for the Archbishop of Canterbury to sit down."
The meeting, Archbishop Moxon said, was "pretty positive" as "the ground was fairly well prepared" by those who had come before all three. "We have been dealing with a closer relationship for the last 30 years."
