I wonder how you pronounce that?
As a member of a Chinese-language Anglican church in Auckland, I wouldn't hold my breath thinking that the new bishop is thoroughly conservative. He will probably get every political point wrong apart from moral issues perhaps (i.e. socially and morally conservative, Bilically orthodox on faith, but politically liberal). The Pakeha liberal "Christians" won't dare to push him off for his moral stance because he is Maori and by definition is a sacred people due to the Treaty of Waitangi.
And about his name, his last name is probably pronounced in the usual way in English (like "VER-coe" I think) but his first name will be pronounced as Wha-ka-hu-i-hu-i. Like most non-English languages written in Roman scripts, the vowels sounds are distinct from the English pronunication. It is similar to the sound of vowels in German ("a" as in "aa", "i" as in "ee", "u" as in "oo").
Shaggy, a ping to you for commentary on Bishop Vercoe's political views and also about his faith.
