  • This Is Not Us”: but Actually It Is
    “This is not us”: But actually it is. “This is not us”: But actually, it is. Talking about when to raise the issue of colonisation. Waikaremoana Waitoki University of Waikato, Māori and Psychology Research Unit This paper is a commentary on some of the responses to the public narrative of the events after the March 15th Christchurch attack. Several colleagues had publicly and privately, offered their views on the Government’s and media outlets use of terms such as ‘unprecedented’, ‘our loss of innocence’ and ‘our darkest day’. A fiery and empassioned exchange of words emerged on social media about the statement: ‘This is not us’. By exposing the counternarrative to these emotion laden terms, a shady past, and in invisible present was revealed. However, the timing of the talk about colonisation also seemed out of step with the need for sensitivity. This paper also explores the role of White supremacy and casual racism in New Zealand. A personal I/we/us narrative style is used throughout the paper to describe how Muslim and Māori lives intersected prior to, and after the attack. The timeline of events is primarily 1 week, and up to 6 weeks post the attack. March 15th culture that has othered them.

  • Final Thesis Philip Carew
    Māori, Biculturalism and the Assemblies of God in New Zealand, 1970 - 2008 By Philip D. Carew A Thesis Submitted to the Victoria University of Wellington in fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Masters of Arts in Religious Studies Victoria University of Wellington Te Whare W ānanga O Te Ūpoko O Te Ika a M āui 2009 i ABSTRACT This thesis examines the extent to which the New Zealand Assemblies of God, one of the largest and oldest Pentecostal denominations in the country, has fostered participation by M āori, and its success in doing so between 1970 and 2008. From the advent of the Mana M āori renaissance in the 1970s the idea of biculturalism became an important vehicle for M āori aspirations. As part of its broader agenda, the thesis also considers the church’s response to this bicultural emphasis. The Assemblies’ particular response is analysed in the light of experiences in the mainline denominations and the Apostolic and Destiny churches which either experienced considerable success in attracting M āori participation, or explicitly accommodated the call for a bicultural response using recognised bicultural models. The research is based on the published literature of the Assemblies of God and an extensive range of interviews. These provided detail on the motivations and underlying beliefs that have generated particular responses. The published literature of the other denominations has also been addressed for comparative purposes, along with a range of relevant secondary literature. The Assemblies of God’s flexible structure, clarity of teaching, fostering of indigenous leadership and emphasis on local church autonomy, has enabled it to grow rapidly throughout the world.
