History

The Diocese of New Zealand was established in 1841, and originally covered the entire country. In 1842, its jurisdiction was described as simply "New Zealand".[3] In 1854, it was limited to the Auckland region only. By act of the fourth General Synod (anticipating Selwyn's retirement), 15 October 1868 the diocese was renamed the Diocese of Auckland;[4] Selwyn was called Bishop of New Zealand until his resignation of the See in 1869, whereas Cowie was called Bishop of Auckland from the announcement of his nomination.
