Acting Dean appointed This week Bishop David Rice has invited Bishop John Bluck to be the Acting Dean of the Cathedral from March - June 2013. Bishop John was Bishop of Waia-pu 2002-2008 and Dean of Christchurch 1990-2002. John and Liz Bluck will live in the Deanery. This will allow time for the search process for a new dean to proceed.

It was a joy to welcome Bishop Mwita Akiri from Tanzania to the Cathedral re-cently. Bishop Mwita gave the Cathedral a gift of a wooden chalice carved with Af-rican animals; and some Tanzanian cof-fee which we have enjoyed!

At the “Mission Encounter” meeting of Hawke’s Bay parishes at Taradale, Bish-op Mwiti invited us to contribute to a pro-ject involving constructing church build-ings in Tarime, his Diocese in Tanza-nia. The idea is that people contribute $10 to pay for a corrugated iron sheet for roofing, in places where the parish has already put up the walls. Donations are invited to go through the Diocesan Office account and be sent together. Please make cheques out to the Cathedral but in an envelope marked for Tarime, Tanza-nia, or cash in an envelope.

Copies of brochures describing the pro-ject are on the back table.
