INTRODUCTORY On 16 December 1906 a Methodist church was opened and dedicated in Hinemoa Street, Rotorua. It was named after a young man who died in the Tarawera eruption. On 30 May 1982 the closing service of the church, now much enlarged, was held, over 300 people attending. The following day the demolition of the church, to make way for the erection of shops, was begun. Thus ended over 76 years of continual Methodist worship on this site. During that period the original membership of the church had been increased eleven fold, while the value of church and site had increased over a hundred fold. Rotorua Methodist Circuit retained a large supermarket building with offices, including the Church Office, overhead and an adjoining car park. These had been acquired and added to the original site. The following Sunday the congregation gathered for worship in borrowed school premises. Thus began its 'wilderness year' while the new Church Centre was being planned and erected on a site off Old Taupo Road. The value of this building will be twice that of the former one. 'Bainbridge' became over the years the central shrine of Methodist witness over a large area in the region. Other Methodist churches were erected at Mamaku, Ngongotaha and Clayton Road. Services were held also at Reporoa, Kaharoa, Rotorua and many other places. Bainbridge saw them come and go. None proved permanently viable for Methodist witness. The central plateau is not Methodist country. Only at Taupo was it possible for the circuit to establish a further Methodist church which grew into a circuit itself and became a partner in a strong Union Parish. Through the years a vigorous cause was centred on Bainbridge, rich in its ministry to a growing town, city and district. It ministered also to a steady stream of visitors in war and peace times from all over the world. This is an attempt to sketch the story of Bainbridge church. Only side glances will be made to other ventures in the life of the circuit. Buildings of course are not the essence of the Church's life. This the Bainbridge folk are discovering afresh first hand in their homeless year. It is comparatively easy to trace the history of church buildings and some of the activities that take place within and about their walls. The story of the church's deepest life and work cannot be recorded. It has to do with the impact of preaching, teaching and conversation and service touching countless people. It includes untold pastoral and community contacts made over the years. Wesley Historical Society (NZ) Publication #43 Page 3 The Bainbridge Church Story by J B Dawson 1983 The Church is what God does with people. The full story of Bainbridge Church would include the record of countless people who down the years have enriched its life. But space is limited and the record is uneven. Ministers for obvious reasons get most mention. Their wives receive minimal remembrance. Both in the days when the church expected them to be unpaid curate- receptionists and in later years when they were rather more free to choose their service their work goes largely undocumented. Rotorua Methodism has been richly blessed in the succession of gifted and devoted men and women. Often father was followed by son and daughter succeeded mother in service and leadership. Not to mention any by name would be to make the story utterly unreal. To mention all the most prominent would be to make it a catalogue. A few names have been included here and there to personalise the record. They must represent the others. Many are still serving the church after long years of activity. There are younger folk willing to carry on in these days when the church is more affluent but less popular. Yet it must not be forgotten that church buildings too are important tools of the Church. They help to make it visible and anchor it in a community. They provide a physical setting in which folk meet at every level of life from a bazaar to a funeral. Some church buildings survive the centuries. They witness, as do the great cathedrals, to the faith of past generations who built them and the changeless realities of the gospel that sustains them. Others, like Bainbridge, are less enduring. Its shape and size were varied over the years to meet changing needs. Now its people face a greater transition than ever before as they seek to replace church and half with a Church Centre embodying the best insights they can gather as to spiritual and social needs today and in the future years. The seriousness with which this task is being faced is shown by the ten page 'brief’ (?) presented by the church trustees to the architect of the new Centre. Wesley Historical Society (NZ) Publication #43 Page 4 The Bainbridge Church Story by J B Dawson 1983 2. ANTECEDENTS. Rotorua city, now incorporated in the Rotorua District Council area of approaching 60,000 people, is situated on the southern shore of Rotorua the lake. This occupies a caldera or deep cauldron like cavity which was once the summit of a volcano. The city is the centre of the principal thermal area of New Zealand, with twenty lakes within twenty miles of it and hot and cold springs, geysers and bubbling pools within its central area. It is today the main North Island tourist resort, the centre also of the North Island timber industry and an important show place for Maori art and culture. Since the discovery of cobalt treatment of the land it has also become an important farming centre. Among the Maoris who came to New Zealand in 1350 AD., the people of the Arawa canoe settled in the Bay of Plenty after landing at Maketu. That same year one of them, Ihanga, is said to have named the lake Rotorua. The main settlement of the area probably took place about 1440 as the main Arawa tribes moved inland. The centuries following saw much intertribal warfare and cannibalism. Ngapuhi from the north raided the Arawa in 1823 but it was one of their warriors, Pita, who married an Arawa slave girl, worked in a northern mission station became a Christian and later went south with his wife to tell the Christian story for the first time at Rotorua. The Dutch pakeha-Maori, Philip Tapsell, trading at Maketu, was probably the first white man to see Rotorua, in 1830. The pioneer Anglican missionaries Henry Williams and Thomas Chapman, with a Maori missionary Taiwhanga, visited Rotorua the following year. Williams had been urged to do so by an Arawa chief and tohunga, rango, whose life he had saved at Paihia. Williams led the first Christian service at Rotorua near where St. Faith's church now stands, speaking to 500 people. He promised a mission station. Chapman, with initial help from two other missionaries Knight and Pilley, began the Koutu mission station in 1831. However the area was raided by the Waikato chief, Te Waharoa, intent on revenge for the murder of a relative. There was terror and cannibalism and on Christmas day the mission station was burnt, Pilley and Knight being wounded. Chapman and his wife re-established the mission in 1838 on Mokoia Island on Rotorua, living in a raupo hut. Chapman travelled widely and by 1840 recorded a total of 2000 regular worshippers in the district. At that time the mission was moved to Te Ngae on the shore of the lake. Wesley Historical Society (NZ) Publication #43 Page 5 The Bainbridge Church Story by J B Dawson 1983 During these years Tapsell, for purposes of trade no doubt, opposed an extension of mission work among the Arawa. He was of course very much frowned upon by the Church Missionary Society. The first known Methodist contact with the area appears to be that of Rev. J. Buller. While at Kaipara he was instructed by the Methodist District Meeting in 1839 to proceed to Port Nicholson to finalise arrangements for a mission station there which had been initiated by Bumby and Hobbs. This involved for Buller a journey by foot of 500 miles by native tracks and over unbridged rivers. It took three months. Buller it seems walked past Rotorua and Lake Taupo. Morley the Methodist historian does not give details about Rotorua but says that, in his journal and report to the London Committee, Buller notes that after leaving the shores of Rotorua he and his party travelled for nearly five days without meeting a single individual of seeing the vestige of a dwelling. He was told at Taupo that those living thereabouts formerly had been killed and eaten or driven away and enslaved. The Te Ngae Anglican station was closed in 1850 when Chapman retired in bad health and Rev. Seymour Spender directed the mission trom his station above Te Wairoa village. This in turn was closed at the time of the Te Kooti raids.

  • Spas and Geothermal Fields Candice Chalmers Brock
    ROTORUA ABSTRACT 1 Running head: ROTORUA ABSTRACT Rotorua Abstract Rotorua – Spas and Geothermal Fields Candice Chalmers Brock University Dave Brown Due: February 18 2010 TREN 3F94 ROTORUA ABSTRACT 2 In New Zealand’s North Island, a unique and popular tourist attraction can be found. Rotorua, a district that is filled with “...steaming hot springs, explosive geysers [and] bubbling mud pools...” (Lonely Planet, 2008, p.32) reminds tourists that they are in a destination that is incomparable. The harsh scent of sulphur fills the region, but this harmless element has been created by the geothermal activity that occurs in Rotorua (Bell, 1999). With ‘lunar landscapes’ that have been created by volcanic action and fourteen lakes, Rotorua attracts tourists of all kinds as this destination boasts a distinct natural environment (Ryan & Pike, 2003, p.315). The creation of these natural wonders have been because of Geothermal fields which have been produced by the ingredients of water, heat and access to the earth’s surface for geothermal heat. Once cold water moves through the ground towards the heat, the water naturally warms and moves upwards thus establishing geysers, fumaroles, mud pools and also hot springs (Department of Conservation). There are five main areas within Rotorua that possess these remarkable sights, and they are known as Whakarewarewa, Tikitere, Waimangu, Waiotapu and Orakei Korako (New Zealand on the Web). All are located in fairly close proximity, making them extremely accessible to visitors. With result many spas have been established throughout Rotorua, as there is undoubtedly an appeal to tourists as many are looking to achieve a personal experience with the natural products.

  • Lake Rotoiti Ratepayers & Residents Association
    Lake Rotoiti Ratepayers & Residents Association NEWSLETTER - SEPTEMBER 1995 Kia Ora from the Lake There have been signs lately that the many pleas of 'Enough is Enough' have been heeded. We are referring of course to the inordinate amount of rainfall experienced throughout June and July. Statistical evidence reveals that it rained every day except one from the middle of June to the latter part of July. According to long standing resident weather watcher, John Wright, rainfall to the end of July had almost equalled the total for the whole of 1994. Lake levels are the highest seen in recent times. We have also had some extremely cold spells with an easily discernible blanket of snow on Mt Ngongotaha and surrounding hills several weeks back. Notwithstanding this soggy saga, our vigil over matters of concern to local residents has continued to keep us busy. Appropriately, water is a central theme in most of the more prominent issues. In response to numerous requests, we are making renewed attempts to establish the level of support for a public water supply for West Rotoiti following the reticence of many to last years unsuccessful survey. Management of the Rotorua lakes both from an environmental and safety aspect has come under closer scrutiny this year with several Lakes Ratepayer Groups including our own calling for more expedient action to address obvious shortcomings. Rotorua District Council have now recognised the importance of the lakes to the extent of conceding to our calls to incorporate a stand alone chapter in the Proposed District Plan. An important event this year is the October elections to select our District and Regional Council representatives for the ensuing three year term.

  • Mineral, Coal and Petroleum Resources: Production,Exploration and Potential
    2.3 MINERAL, COAL AND PETROLEUM RESOURCES MINERAL, COAL AND PETROLEUM RESOURCES: PRODUCTION, EXPLORATION AND POTENTIAL Anthony B. Christie1, Richard G. Barker2 1 GNS Science, PO Box 30-368, Lower Hutt 5040, New Zealand 2 Consulting Geologist, PO Box 54-094, The Marina, Bucklands Beach, Auckland 2144, New Zealand ABSTRACT: New Zealand has been a signifi cant producer of minerals and coal since early European settlement in the mid-19th century, and of hydrocarbons since 1970. Current production consists of oil, gold and silver, high quality (bituminous) coal, ironsand and specialised industrial minerals such as halloysite china clay for export, and a range of minerals and rocks for domestic use that are fundamental to New Zealand’s economy and infrastructure. The latter include aggregate for road making and construction (concrete aggregate and cement), coal for use by industry and electricity generation, and limestone for agriculture, cement making, and industry. Small quantities of diatomite, dolomite, perlite, pumice, serpentinite, and zeolite are also produced mainly for domestic markets. Other commodities that have been produced in the past include antimony, chromium, copper, lead, manganese, mercury, phosphate, platinum, sulphur, tin, tungsten, and zinc. New Zealand has well-documented potential for the discovery of a wide range of minerals and of petroleum, both onshore and offshore. Exploration is essential for converting this resource potential to wealth-creating assets. The resource-related industries are signifi cant economic contributors, but New Zealand’s resource potential remains to be realised. Mineral resources are created by natural processes and are generally described as non-renewable, implying they are fi nite, but many minerals (metals in particular) have been produced for several thousand years.

  • Microbial Biogeography of 925 Geothermal Springs in New Zealand
    ARTICLE DOI: 10.1038/s41467-018-05020-y OPEN Microbial biogeography of 925 geothermal springs in New Zealand Jean F. Power 1,2, Carlo R. Carere1,3, Charles K. Lee2, Georgia L.J. Wakerley2, David W. Evans1, Mathew Button4, Duncan White5, Melissa D. Climo5,6, Annika M. Hinze4, Xochitl C. Morgan7, Ian R. McDonald2, S. Craig Cary2 & Matthew B. Stott 1,6 Geothermal springs are model ecosystems to investigate microbial biogeography as 1234567890():,; they represent discrete, relatively homogenous habitats, are distributed across multiple geographical scales, span broad geochemical gradients, and have reduced metazoan inter- actions. Here, we report the largest known consolidated study of geothermal ecosystems to determine factors that influence biogeographical patterns. We measured bacterial and archaeal community composition, 46 physicochemical parameters, and metadata from 925 geothermal springs across New Zealand (13.9–100.6 °C and pH < 1–9.7). We determined that diversity is primarily influenced by pH at temperatures <70 °C; with temperature only having a significant effect for values >70 °C. Further, community dissimilarity increases with geographic distance, with niche selection driving assembly at a localised scale. Surprisingly, two genera (Venenivibrio and Acidithiobacillus) dominated in both average relative abundance (11.2% and 11.1%, respectively) and prevalence (74.2% and 62.9%, respectively). These findings provide an unprecedented insight into ecological behaviour in geothermal springs, and a foundation to improve the characterisation of microbial biogeographical processes. 1 Geomicrobiology Research Group, Department of Geothermal Sciences, GNS Science, Taupō 3384, New Zealand. 2 Thermophile Research Unit, School of Science, University of Waikato, Hamilton 3240, New Zealand. 3 Department of Chemical and Process Engineering, University of Canterbury, Christchurch 8140, New Zealand.
