Title: Off to new post.
Description: Text transcribed from caption: P-30448 OFF TO NEW POST CAPETOWN, So. Africa -- A famed Anglican prelate waves goodbye to well-wishers at Capetown. Archbishop Joost de Blank of Capetown left for England where he will be one of the four Canons of Westminster. During his almost seven years of service in South Africa, Archbishop de Blank won fame and respect for his continuing campaign against the apartheid (racial segregation) policies of the government. His retirement was dictated by poor health; last year he was forced to go to England for treatment and convalescence. Capetown Anglicans will elect his successor in February.

Title: New Anglican Archbishop of Capetown.
Description: Text transcribed from caption: P-30580 NEW ANGLICAN ARCHBISHOP OF CAPETOWN CAPETOWN -- Bishop Robert Selby Taylor of Grahamstown, a 53-year-old, six-foot athletic clergyman, was elected Archbishop of Capetown, automatically becoming Metropolitan of the Anglican Church of the Province of South Africa. He succeeds Archbishop Joost de Blank, who retired because of ill health and has been named a canon of Westminster Abbey. Like Dr. de Blank, who gained worldwide attention for his out-spoken attacks on South Africa's apartheid policy, Archbishop Taylor is a staunch foe of racial segregation. A native of Yorkshire, Archbishop Taylor has headed the Grahamstown diocese since 1959. He is a former bishop of Northern Rhodesia and of Pretoria. He was elected archbishop by an assembly of clergy, laity and bishops which deliberated three days before agreeing on a successor to Dr. de Blank.
