In this episode we speak with bishop-elect Anne van Gend. She tells of her own story, growing up in South Africa and landing in Dunedin, finding herself in a surprising new role as bishop-elect of the Anglican Diocese of Dunedin, with both excitement and trepidation. Anne also talks about her pastoral vision, the changing world and how the church needs to keep learning 'how to communicate the goodness of our good news' and telling it with confidence that the hunger for God is still out there in our world. Anne also tells us about book called 'Restoring the Story' which explores all this.
