  • 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 An obvious weakness in any scheme of intercession is that it soon becomes out of date.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.

  • The Nuptial Blessing of Same-Sex Couples by the Anglican Church in New Zealand
    The Nuptial Blessing of Same-sex Couples by the Anglican Church in New Zealand Ronald Kent Ashford A thesis submitted for the degree of MA (Bioethics) at the University of Otago, Dunedin, New Zealand 28 September 2007 2 Abstract The Anglican Church in Aotearoa, New Zealand and Polynesia (ACANZP) and the worldwide Anglican Communion are both embroiled in the controversy surrounding Same-sex Sexual Activity and Same-sex Sexual Relationship by Christians who desire to participate fully in the life of the Anglican Church. The controversy has two primary fields of conflict - the blessing of Committed Same-sex Couples (CSsCs), and the consecration to the episcopacy of a person in a CSsC relationship. This thesis will look at the first issue. The appeal for the ACANZP to bless CSsC relationships can be understood as a petition for a CSsC’s relationship to be accepted as a non-legal cultural equivalent to Holy Matrimony for those attracted to persons of the same-sex. We therefore ask: In what ways are the relationships of CSsCs legitimately viewed as equivalent to Holy Matrimony? And, in what ways are they not equivalent? Some people are predisposed towards experiencing relational, romantic or erotic attraction with someone of their own sex, and perceive homosexual attraction as ‘natural’. The church need not ‘agree’ with this view in order to love, accept, and support those who experience such an attraction or are in such a relationship. Where a person experiencing Same-sex (s/s) attraction is unable to be celibate, or to ‘convert’ to heterosexuality, a monogamous, caring, loving and interdependent relationship seems preferable to a series of fleeting sexual contacts, and/or a life lived without enduring companionship.

  • Diocesan Prayer Cycle
    DIOCESAN CYCLE OF PRAYER January 2019 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. Unfortunately space limitations preclude listing the names of Local Shared Ministry Support Teams. Including only the names of local clergy in these teams could have suggested a higher degree of ‘status’ than for lay members of these teams. Including the names of the enablers in each unit could have implied that they were the equivalent of Vicars – which they are not. The growth of local shared ministry produces unexpected problems! Similarly, names of lay staff in parishes are not included. In the past, licensed lay ministers have been included but not those who, for various reasons, have not been licensed. It is simply too difficult to draw up a comprehensive list but we will keep trying to think of a solution! There is certainly no intention of focusing only on clergy. It is acknowledged that many lay workers provide indispensable service to their ministry units. 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.

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.
