A special evening service will be held in Hastings for Archbishop David Moxon, who leaves New Zealand next month to become the chief Anglican representative to the Catholic Church in Rome.
Mr Moxon was appointed curate, assisting the vicar, at St Luke’s in Havelock North in 1978 and went on to be ordained as a priest in the Diocese of Waiapu.
He remained at Havelock North until 1981.
The 61 year old, who is now the head of the Anglican Church in New Zealand, has been based in Hamilton but will resign to take up a three- to five-year term as the Anglican Representative to the Holy See.
