The Church's new, dreadlocked bishop
The Anglican Church has ordained a bishop like no other in its history. Justin Duckworth has dreadlocks, bare feet and his own commune and looks like he'd be more at home at a music festival than in church. On a freezing cold Wellington afternoon, Justin Duckworth and his trademark bare feet are ascending to one of Anglican Church's most revered roles. And inside Wellington's Saint Paul's Cathedral, 1600 faithful gather to see him ordained as a bishop. Mr Duckworth is a man who has spent much of his life working to help the needy and those who live in the margins of society. Prior to his election to one of the country's seven Pakeha Anglican diocese, Mr Duckworth founded Ngatiawa, a place for those in need of help, those sometimes rejected by society and even by the Church.
