[Global South Anglican] February 9, 2006--Bishop Ian Ernest of Mauritius has been elected as the new Archbishop of the Province of the Indian Ocean. He will be consecrated on 19th February in Mauritius. He succeeds to Bishop Remi Rabenirina of Antananarivo Diocese. The Diocese of Toamasina is important in a special way as the Anglican Martyr Abel was stoned to death in Mahanoro village in 1896. This year we shall be celebrating the 110 th anniversary of that event with a National Malagasy clergy meeting in Toamasina Diocese at the end of May.
