Yes by God's will the next bishop because he is keeping his celibacy vows well. His native group will be so happy. Spore trained. Good communication skills. When someone is sick will rush to their bedside to anoint with holy oil and give communion. Now he got a high powered motorbike to respond to sick people fast. Generally a down to earth and simple good bloke. Can have a good sense of humour. Often begins his sermon with a joke. Tolerant as he has lived or.many years in an attic on the first floor of the church behind the chour which he mentioned twice in his numerous sermons. For his mission work during seminary went to East Timor. He described them as "lacking in everything compared to people here. They need more of everything", he said.
