We are pleased to advise that the Ven. Dr Anne van Gend will be ordained and installed as the 11th Bishop of Dunedin at St Paul's Cathedral, Dunedin on Saturday 29th March 2025 at 1 pm.

Link to initial announcement

A formal Mandate document has been sent from the General Secretary of The Anglican Church in Aotearoa, New Zealand and Polynesia confirming this date as well as inviting current and past bishops to attend.

Please mark Saturday 29th March 2025 in your diary and let others in your congregations know this.

We will update this article in the New Year with further details of arrangements and how you can indicate your attendance.

This is a time of change and looking forward to the future together. Please continue to pray for Anne and her whānau as they transition to this new phase of ministry within the Diocese of Dunedin as well as in the wider church.
