Remembering Bishop Peter Woodley Mann 1976-1990 Bishop Peter Mann served the Diocese of Dunedin for 14 years, and his name lives on at Peter Mann House (the Diocesan Centre) in Green Island. We have had some additional memories shared by people who knew and loved +Peter and links to previous articles in this series... Peter Woodley Mann CBE[1] (25 July 1924 in Perth, Western Australia – 24 August 1999 in Dunedin)[2] was the sixth Anglican Bishop of the Diocese of Dunedin in Dunedin, New Zealand. Mann was educated at Prince Alfred College, Adelaide and St John's College, Auckland before being ordained in 1954. He held curacies at Waiapu and Rotorua before holding incumbencies at Porangahau and Dannevirke. Later he was Archdeacon of Blenheim, Marlborough and Timaru before his ordination to the episcopate). Rev'd Barbara Dineen has the following memories of Bishop Mann: "I have the warmest memories of Plus Peter, as he was known! He served in the Australian navy during World War II and he had a vast storehouse of amusing anecdotes, with which he frequently began his sermons. His memory for names was impressive, and all ladies were always greeted with a 'Hello, dear' and a kiss. He truly was a people person. He engaged with the city, to the point of living the gospel very visibly: he, and several of his senior clergy, marched with us against the Springbok Tour in 1981. Peter Mann was truly a man of God.
