Section 1 for Use Each Sunday Throughout the Year DIOCESE OF CHRISTCHURCH CYCLE OF PRAYER 2016 Section 1 For use each Sunday throughout the year Section 2 For daily use throughout each month From Bishop Victoria Dear Friends, Prayer is central to all we do as the Body of Christ and I cannot stress enough how grateful I am for those who hold my ministry and the life of the Diocese in prayer before the throne of grace. As we progress through 2016 I ask particularly that we continue to pray for the thousands of refugees crossing the world in search of a safe home; that we commit to prayer and action climate change; and that the life of the Anglican Communion, especially Archbishop Justin, be upheld in our regular intercessions. This year our Province will see a General Synod in May and much prayer is needed for that gathering, again remembering especially Archbishop Philip; Archbishop Brown and Archbishop Winston. In this Diocese I hope we will resolve the matter of the Cathedral in the Square in 2016 about which we are already committed to praying for, at noon, daily. One last suggestion: the clergy of our beloved Diocese have committed to praying each day the morning office from “A New Zealand Prayer Book/ He Karakia Mihinare o Aotearoa”. Why not ask your parish priest if you can either join her or him daily for this act of prayer or seek out others who could come together with you to read the Scriptures in accordance with the Lectionary 2016 and to pray morning-prayer together. A number of us do exactly that, weekdays at St Peter’s, Upper Riccarton at 8.30 am. It’s is a most uplifting way to start the day.

The Institution and Welcoming of The Reverend Hugh Bowron as Vicar of the Parish of St. Peter’s, Caversham by The Right Reverend Kelvin Wright Bishop of Dunedin On the Feast of the Presentation of the Lord in the Temple. The Church of St Peter, Caversham, Thursday, February 2, 2012, 7pm. Processional Hymn: Of the Father's heart begotten, Ere the world from chaos rose, He is Alpha, from that Fountain All that is and has been flows; He is Omega, of all things, Yet to come the distant Close, Evermore and evermore for ever. By His word was all created He commanded and 'twas done; Earth and sky and boundless ocean, Universe of three in one, All that sees the moon's soft radiance, All that breathes beneath the sun, Evermore and evermore. He assumed this mortal body, Frail and feeble, doomed to die, That the race from dust created, Might not perish utterly, Which the dreadful Law had sentenced In the depths of hell to lie, Evermore and evermore. O how blest that wondrous birthday, When the Maid the curse retrieved, Brought to birth mankind's salvation By the Holy Ghost conceived, And the Babe, the world's Redeemer In her loving arms received, Evermore and evermore. Sing, ye heights of heaven, his praises; Angels and Archangels, sing! Wheresoe’er ye be, ye faithful, Let your joyous anthems ring, Every tongue his name confessing, Countless voices answering, Evermore and evermore. Words: Corde Natus - Prudentius (trans. R.F. Davis) Music: Divinum mysterium (arr.

  • Te Wairua Kōmingomingo O Te Māori = the Spiritual Whirlwind of the Māori
    Copyright is owned by the Author of the thesis. Permission is given for a copy to be downloaded by an individual for the purpose of research and private study only. The thesis may not be reproduced elsewhere without the permission of the Author. TE WAIRUA KŌMINGOMINGO O TE MĀORI THE SPIRITUAL WHIRLWIND OF THE MĀORI A thesis presented for the Degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY in Māori Studies Massey University Palmerston North, New Zealand Te Waaka Melbourne 2011 Abstract This thesis examines Māori spirituality reflected in the customary words Te Wairua Kōmingomingo o te Maori. Within these words Te Wairua Kōmingomingo o te Māori; the past and present creates the dialogue sources of Māori understandings of its spirituality formed as it were to the intellect of Māori land, language, and the universe. This is especially exemplified within the confinements of the marae, a place to create new ongoing spiritual synergies and evolving dialogues for Māori. The marae is the basis for meaningful cultural epistemological tikanga Māori customs and traditions which is revered. Marae throughout Aotearoa is of course the preservation of the cultural and intellectual rights of what Māori hold as mana (prestige), tapu (sacred), ihi (essence) and wehi (respect) – their tino rangatiratanga (sovereignty). This thesis therefore argues that while Christianity has taken a strong hold on Māori spirituality in the circumstances we find ourselves, never-the-less, the customary, and traditional sources of the marae continue to breath life into Māori. This thesis also points to the arrival of the Church Missionary Society which impacted greatly on Māori society and accelerated the advancement of colonisation.

  • 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. Box 37- 242, Parnell 1151, Auckland or email [email protected] 2 A SCHEME OF INTERCESSION Every day In the morning: The day and its tasks; the world and its needs; the Church and her life In the evening: Peace; individuals and their needs Sunday The universal Church Bishops, synods and all who lead the Church The leaders of the nations The natural world and the resources of the earth All who are in any kind of need Monday The media and
