Yes, honesty and decency are his main virtues. None of his predecessor's arrogance, either,
The Anglican schools will now be efficiently run.

The unanimous election of Rt. Rev. Dhiloraj Ranjan Canagasabey as the 15th Bishop of Colombo will hearald a new era and a season of the Lord's blessings not only upon the Church of Ceylon but also the whole nation.

Here is a truly godly man of compassion and love, integrity and truth, courage and humility who walks in the ways of the Lord Jesus Christ. A man for God and a man for others!

Let's all continually pray for him and his family and co-operate with and support him as he shepherds the Diocese of Colombo through what may be difficult and trying times.
