2 Anglicans from Palm North help make connections at the Vatican

Friday, November 29th, 2013

Two Palmerston North Anglicans have been making their mark in Rome, helping to develop closer links with the Vatican.

Former deputy Mayor and All Saints assistant minister, John Hornblow and his wife Jenny have recently returned from Italy, where they worked as assistants to Archbishop David Moxon, past Archbishop of New Zealand, who is now the Archbishop of Canterbury’s representative to the Holy See and Director of the Anglican Centre in Rome.

The Hornblows’ visit was planned to help him settle into the new role, which involves welcoming visitors from around the world, and developing relationships with the leadership of the Catholic Church.

Mr Hornblow said Palmerston North already had a tradition of Anglicans and Catholics co-operating – the social services agency Across being a case in point.

Mr and Mrs Hornblow will speak about their trip at the All Saints Community Centre on Sunday, November 24, at 2.30pm.
