DREADLOCKED BISHOP-ELECT JUSTIN


From Archbishop David Moxon of the Anglican Church in Aotearoa, New Zealand and Polynesia:

"I am delighted to announce that the Rev Justin Duckworth has been chosen as the next Bishop of Wellington.

Justin was nominated by an Electoral College ably chaired by Bishop Richard Ellena, and Justin's nomination has since been formally confirmed by the House of Bishops and members of the General Synod.

Justin, who is 44, has been at the cutting edge of mission and ministry in Wellington for 25 years."

Archdeacon Bernard Faull conducted a video interview with the new bishop-elect after his election, which is also at the link above.  During the interview, the two speak of the the juxtaposition of the dreads and the mitre.   Below is a close-up photo of Justin.


Justin's is a fascinating story with sometimes surprising twists and turns.
