Abstract Since the late 20th century information technology has changed the lives of individuals and relationships at local, nation and even global levels. In particular the internet is used by many religious groups for theological and spiritual purposes. Some parts of Christianity have confronted the issue of how to deal with the use of internet. As a result, an internet church has emerged, offering Eucharistic services online across the globe. Even though the numbers of internet churches/Eucharistic groups have sharply increased in the last two decades, the attitude of the established churches does not appear to have taken account of this change yet. To achieve this it is necessary for such initiatives to be guided by certain theological norms or church regulations. This may relate to the definition of church, Eucharistic theology, or how to deal with emerging cultures.

  • For All the Saints a Resource for the Commemorations of the Calendar
    For All the Saints A Resource for the Commemorations of the Calendar Full Biography Version Volume 1 edited by Ken Booth revised edition © The Anglican Church in Aotearoa, New Zealand and Polynesia, 2015 i ii Preface to the 1996 Edition I am happy to commend this publication to the church. Our gratitude goes to so many for their painstaking work in compiling the material, most notably Ken Booth and Margaret Wood. Their investment in this project has been immense from the outset, as Ken’s introduction illustrates. a) Each commemoration includes a short biographical section, a “liturgical paragraph” suitable to be read out at a service, and the suggested Sentences, Prayers, and Readings for liturgical use. b) The Māori material was made available to the appropriate people in the respective tribal areas and not only were they checked by them but their approval was sought and obtained. The material may be the most straightforward source of information about both Māori and other commemorations from Aotearoa / New Zealand and the Pacific. c) The book effectively replaces The New Zealand Calendar 1980 in relation to the sections called (i) Saints’ Days and Other Commemorations (updated to fit the Calendar / Te Maramataka of A New Zealand Prayer Book – He Karakia Mihinare o Aotearoa, (ii) Sentences, Prayers and Readings for Other Special Days (updated to reflect the Prayer Book, page 13, these are formularies), and (iii) Sentences, Prayers and Readings for Various Occasions (see The New Zealand Calendar, pages 54-63, 90). For useful resources to replace the weekday and seasonal sections for Advent, Lent, and Eastertide from The New Zealand Calendar (pages 64-89), refer Ken Booth’s Advent to Easter (1992), The Anglican Church in Aotearoa, New Zealand and Polynesia Liturgical Commission’s publication, From Ashes to Fire (1990), or other Anglican or ecumenical resources.

  • A History Of
    A History of WAIAPU HOUSE Havelock North Compiled by CHERIE BAKER ipcesan naven PV HOUSE Waiapu House - 1957 DEDICATION I looked out of my study window and saw seven pure white doves sitting on the grey roof of the home. Then, suddenly, they all flew off into the cloudless blue sky, wings flashing in the sunlight. Somehow,they seemed to epitomise the spirit of Waiapu House. Therefore, I dedicate this book to staff and management of the rest home, past and present, who have committed themselves to improving the lot of the elderly, and have cared for them so unselfishly. AGE Yes, as the years go by Our bodies age. It is as inevitable as thefact of birth or ofdeath. But what ofthefact ofme? Ifeel no older, right inside. Mature, maybe, but not older. My spirit still needs new fields. Is eagerfor new opportunities Still has the visions ofyouth, Wishes to spread wings andfly... Fly to more wonders and mysteries. Span time and space in thefreedom oflove and hope. Love never stops growing in my heart. There is so much to be gratefulfor. And the wonderful gift ofmemory Can still wash my eyes with tears unshed And warm my soul, and nurture me. In the life that is still to come May I ever keep a youth that is spiritual and growing While I accept, with dignity, that physical aging That I have been so privileged to attain. I will notfight it. For it can bring a beauty all its own. Not in the eyes ofthe world, maybe, But in the heart of God.

Whāia te Atuatanga: theological education, text books, Te Rau College, cultures and contexts A thesis presented in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of MA in history at Massey University, Albany, New Zealand. George Howard Douglas Connor 2012 Abstract This thesis shows that Anglican theological training for Māori in the years from 1883 to 1921 was in te reo Māori at Te Rau College, Gisborne, and surveys, in particular, the text books used, analysing what those text book indicators show about Māori theological education. This is seen in the context of theological training for Māori prior to the establishment of the college, the later period when English language instruction was also offered, and the pressures that led to the college’s closure. ii Acknowledgements Me tipu ake te pono i te whenua Me titiro iho te tika i te rangi.
