"In what is seen as a sign of growing religious tolerance in Iran, church services have been held in Tehran to mark the installation of a new Anglican bishop.

Bishop Azad Marshall from Pakistan has been appointed to head the Anglican church in Iran.

Bishop Marshall says Iran's leaders want to open a new chapter with the Anglican Church, nearly 30 years after the Islamic revolution.

"The revolution took place 28 years ago and there's a new generation of people, who ... although they are committed to the revolution, [they] are in some ways objectively looking at what happened in the past and what mustn't happen in the future," he said."
