Bishop of Wellington, Bishop Justin Duckworth at the Wanganui Collegiate chapel centennial.

The Anglican Bishop of Wellington, Justin Duckworth, is moving to live in Whanganui.

Last year he wanted to be "more present on the ground in the north" of the large Wellington diocese.

His move was made possible by the appointment, last year, of an Assistant Bishop, the Reverend Canon Dr Eleanor Sanderson.
