The Anglicans of Melbourne have gone all the way to London to find their new archbishop.

It could be quite a shake up for Melbourne, where Anglicanism has balanced traditional-style worship with a more low-key evangelicalism.

Bishop Thorpe's background suggests he prefers a more charismatic style.
