NZ Episcopal Ordination
Foaming Draught
Shipmate
I posted this for personally-interested parties on the Antipodean board a while ago, but here, in case any Ecclesiants wonder how the Anglican Church of Aotearoa (New Zealand) conducts episcopal ordinations, is the link to our erstwhile Shipmate Kuruman's consecration as Bishop of Dunedin tomorrow, Saturday, at 1300 (OK, 1pm) NZ time. Look up World Clock to work out what time that is where you are. Not that it matters, because although it's a livestream, it will stay up on the Dunedin Cathedral site for folk to view at leisure.
The Link
New Zealand has three Anglican Primates, for the Pākehā (European descent), Māori, and Pasifika (Pacific Islander) congregations. Whenever anyone from anywhere in the world is nominated by election or other means to episcopal office, the whole Anglican communion has to be consulted. That is further complicated in New Zealand because all three Primates have to agree to accept the new NZ bishop, whichever stream they come from.
The cognoscenti might spot Kuruman's significant other, @Zappa, splendidly becoped in choir, and @Clarence in the cong who has left me to dog-and-cockatiel-sit.
