Melanesia
NO appointment has yet been made to fill the place of the Right Rev.
W. H. Baddeley, DSO, who retired from the position of Bishop of Melanesia early this year to accept a Bishopric in England.
Melanesia is a Missionary Diocese, and is attached to New Zealand, and the appointment is, therefore, in the hands of the New Zealand Bishops. It is customary, however, for the New Zea land Bishops to confer with the heads of the Church of England—the Arch bishop of Canterbury invariably is con sulted before any appointment is made to Melanesia.
