Changes

Rev. Hmk. '''''Nicholas (Manovitch)''''' was the founding priest of St Michael Orthodox Church, Dunedin. He appears to have received ordination from a [[bishop]] in Canada that was outside the Orthodox Church, then went to New Zealand where he encouraged the Orthodox Syrians to found St Michael's, pastoring it between 1913-16, and went to Australia where he had close ties to the Bolshevik group in Brisbane. He was arrested for extortion, demanding outrageous amounts of money for [[baptism]]s and weddings, and disappeared from the religious scene when Fr. Paul Korchinsky came to Australia, at the request of the Russian Imperial Consul-General. He died in 1925 and is buried in Queensland.

*V. Rev. Fr. '''[[Jack Witbrock]]''' is the Dean of New Zealand, 2003-present, and the first New Zealander ordained to the priesthood, serving St. Michael's Orthodox Church, Dunedin, 1971-87 and Ss. Simon and Jude, Ashley, 1987-present.
