The Archbishop of Canterbury is in New Zealand, in what will be his last major international engagement before he retires.

Dr Rowan Williams is visiting New Zealand for the Anglican Consultative Council, which is meeting here this weekend.

The Archbishop will also participate in a headstone unveiling ceremony for the late Bishop Sir Paul Reeves at a service at St John's College in Auckland this afternoon.

Lady Beverley Reeves said that the family is honoured that the Archbishop will unveil the headstone.

"The headstone is simple but it tells a great deal of Sir Paul, his whakapapa to Te Atiawa and how he lived his life," she said.

Dr Williams will step down in December after almost ten years as the Archbishop of Canterbury.
