Archdeacon of Rangiora

The Archdeacon of Rangiora is one of the oldest supervisory posts in the Anglican Church in Aotearoa, New Zealand and Polynesia, dating back to the second half nineteenth century when the whole country had one diocese[1] which was then split in 1856 by the subdivision of the Diocese of New Zealand.[2]
