A new Anglican Archbishop of Melbourne

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

Last weekend they elected Richard Thorpe, currently the Bishop of Islington.

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.
