Jabez Bryce

Jabez Bryce (born 1935) is a Tonga-born leader in the Anglican Church. From 1975 he has been the Bishop of Polynesia in the Province of New Zealand, which includes most of the South Pacific. From 2006 he was Archbishop and Co-presiding Bishop, and from 2008 also Primate, Tikanga Pasefika, of the Anglican Church in Aotearoa, New Zealand and Polynesia.

Bryce was born in Vava’u, Tonga. He is based in Suva, Fiji, where the Anglican Church has about 8000 followers.

Bryce spoke out strongly against the Fiji coup of 2000, and condemned the lawlessness that accompanied and followed it. His church has a higher percentage of Indo-Fijians than any other denomination.
