Information About

Archbishop Of New Zealand




This position is not to be confused with either the Bishop of New Zealand or the '''Bishop of Aotearoa'''. The diocese of New Zealand split in to the seven dioceses on mainland New Zealand ( Christchurch , Waiapu, Wellington, Nelson, Dunedin and Waikato), and the remainer of the diocese renamed to the Diocese of Auckland. George Augustus Selwyn was the first Bishop of New Zealand.

The Archbishop of New Zealand has no permanent See; instead the Archbishopric is held by a Bishop who takes on the additional title.

The incumbent Archbishop is the Most Reverend Whakahuihui Vercoe , known for his controversially expression conservative views on homosexuality which were at odds with the more liberal Church attitude.
