Diocesan Prayer Cycle
DIOCESAN CYCLE OF PRAYER February-March 2020 USING THIS CYCLE OF PRAYER This edition of the Diocesan Cycle of Prayer follows the same general form as its predecessor. It follows a simple monthly cycle. On each day parishes and other ministry units in the Diocese are listed, together with a range of diocesan and national church bodies. Reference is made to pastorates of Tikanga Maori and parochial districts of the Diocese of Polynesia located within the geographical area of the Diocese. Note, however, that these do not come within the jurisdiction of the Diocese but are included as a symbol of partnership. Clergy with a permission to officiate and widows of clergy are listed in alphabetical sequence throughout the course of the monthly cycle. An obvious weakness in any scheme of intercession is that it soon becomes out of date. For this reason, this issue of the Cycle of Prayer appears on the Diocesan website and will be updated bi- monthly, with the date of revision appearing on the front page. Please direct any inquiries to the Editor of the Cycle of Prayer at the Bishop’s Office, P.O.

John Wesley's Eucharist and the Online Eucharist

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. -
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. -
