Four new Anglican deans have joined the annual deans’ meeting in Taranaki this week.

They are Dean Michael Godfrey (Napier), Dean Lynda Paterson (Christchurch), Dean Claude Fong Toy (Suva) and Dean-elect Digby Wilkinson (Wellington).

The deans have been discussing community involvement and communications, as well as reporting on their own cathedrals and praying for each other’s ministries.

They will join the congregation of Taranaki Cathedral this Sunday for worship.
