From New Zealand-The Anglican church has elected a new archbishop to lead its New Zealand congregation.
Philip Richardson, the Bishop of Taranaki, was confirmed at a meeting in Wellington of representatives of the country's seven dioceses.
"It is overwhelming. I think to have the confidence of your peers, to have the confidence of the church in this way, is both encouraging and a little bit daunting," said Richardson.
"I think when God calls you, you've got no option but to respond."
News of his appointment came through a text message - an indication that this is 2013 and times are changing.
"We certainly have to be fresh and creative in the way that we articulate," the 55-year-old said.
