Page 1 WELCOME TO CONFERENCE 2014

Tena koutou katoa Talofa lava Mālō e lelei Ni san bula vinaka

Greetings to you all

Welcome to the Methodist Church of , Te Haahi Weteriana o Aotearoa 2014.

For this Conference we have chosen as our theme:

“A time to sow, a time to grow”

Conference 2014 will be held in Hamilton and the Claudelands Events Centre on Heaphy Terrace will be the venue for our weekend celebrations. Our business sessions of Conference will be held at Wintec, Tristram St, Whitiora, Monday to Wednesday.

Conference will begin with the Powhiri and Welcome on Saturday 15 November at 10.00am, followed by a short break. The Opening Worship and Service for a time of remembering and honouring those who have served the Connexion and who have died since Conference last year will follow at 11.00am.

Lunch for all will follow after the service. Families of the deceased will be hosted by President Rex and Vice President Jan served in Heaphy 1 room and all others will have lunch in the upstairs lounge area.

The Induction Service for President and Vice-President will take place at 2pm.

Later in the afternoon there will be a service for the Celebration of Life and Leadership of those Connexional appointments, presbyters and lay people who retire at this Conference and in the evening a Conference Dinner will be held with a celebration of 30 years of our church’s Bicultural Journey.

On Sunday morning we will all join together in morning worship led by Tumuaki Diana Tana and Director Mission Resourcing, Aso Samoa Page 2 Saleupolu. Te Taha Maori and Tauiwi meetings follow morning worship, Te Taha Maori in the Oakley Room and Tauiwi in the Claudelands Arena.

The Ordination Service will commence at 2:00pm Sunday afternoon and will conclude with the Commissioning of the Tauiwi Chidren, Young People and Families Ministry National Co-ordinator. There are a large group of Ordinands this year and so from the conclusion of this service there will be free time to allow family time for everyone.

Business sessions will take place from Monday to Wednesday.

During the Conference we will welcome visitors and special guests on Tuesday evening from 7:00pm.

Each day will begin and close with worship. Our Chaplains Rev Joohong Kim and Nicola Grundy will take our devotions on Monday, Sinoti Samoa on Tuesday and Te Taha Maori will lead the morning worship on Wednesday.

Conference will conclude on Wednesday afternoon with the Covenant Service.

It is our hope that this Conference will provide opportunities and challenges that will move us forward into the future, a future that embraces and celebrates our bicultural journey and the diversity that is Te Haahi Weteriana o Aotearoa, the Methodist Church of New Zealand.

May we continue to grow our faith, to grow our unique and individual gifts and to contribute to the growth and development of this, our Church here in Aotearoa.

Rev Tovia Aumua, President Dr Arapera Ngaha, Vice-President

Page 3 WHERE WE GATHER The Waiariki District: Brief Historical Overview Waikato Maniapoto peoples belong to the tribal area called Tainui, who recognise King Tuheitia Paki as the current head. Te Wherowhero of the Waikato was chosen to be the first Maori King in 1856, at Pukawa on the western shore of Lake Taupo. Waiariki (Bay of Plenty) which is part of the District comprises many tribal groups.

In Maori whakapapa (genealogy), mountains and rivers are uniquely linked with the tangata whenua and iwi. In the Waikato, the mountains Pirongia, Taupiri, Maungatautari, Te Aroha and Karioi are especially significant. The Waikato River provided physical and spiritual sustenance for large populations of Maori living along its catchment. It was also an important route. A well-known saying about the Waikato River uses taniwha as a metaphor for chiefs: ‘Waikato taniwha rau, he piko he taniwha, he piko he taniwha’ (Waikato of a hundred taniwha, on every bend a taniwha). This saying attributes the power and prestige of the Waikato tribes to that of the river. With the arrival of European settlers in the 1840s and 1850s the Waikato River was the main access route inland for traders and missionaries.

This year also marks the commemoration of a number of battles in Waikato, Maniapoto with the British army where many lives were lost and large scale land confiscations resulted. Of particular note is the sacking of the Mission Church in February 1864 at Rangiaowhia where the elderly, women and children took shelter from the battle and were massacred. Respected academic and Ngāti Apakura kaumātua, Tom Roa, notes that on Anzac day we say ‘lest we forget’ but for us, Ngāti Apakura, Ngāti Hinetū, we urge that for all New Zealand ‘we must remember’.

Influential Maori leaders who helped the establishment of Wesleyan missions in the Waikato-King Country include Tarawhiti, Hamiora Ngaropi, Wiremu Patene and Wiremu Nera (Te Awaitaia)

The District has its roots in Maori Mission work from the 1830s on. The work begun by the Revs Woon, Whiteley and Wallis and Maori evangelists such as Wiremu Neera, stretched from Port Waikato to Mokau and inland to the Waipa River. After the New Zealand wars of the 1860s Waikato Methodism shifted its focus to founding and developing congregations among colonial settlers. One of the pioneer ministers of this early period in the Waikato was Rev Joseph Berry, appointed to the Waikato in 1867.

The first churches in the District were built initially in Hamilton, Cambridge, Pukerimu and Te Awamutu. The Thames goldfields were opened in 1867 and by 1870 Thames became a separate circuit. For many years the Waikato-Bay of Plenty was called the South District, extending Page 4 from Taumarunui in the south to Huntly in the north, and Raglan in the west to Opotiki in the east.

The boundary of the District as it is at present was decided by Methodist Conference in 1963. The Synod stretches from Huntly to Turangi and Taumarunui and from Raglan and Kawhia on the west coast to the Coromandel Peninsula and Opotiki in the east.

The District name was changed from South Auckland (with the Rev Bill Laws as the last Chairman) to Waikato-Bay of Plenty District, with the Rev Roy Jamieson MBE, E.D., minister at Te Aroha, as the first District Chairman; the Secretary was the Rev Robert H Allen B.A. (Tauranga) and the Financial Secretary was S V Leach.

In the same year (1963) the Women's Guild Fellowship and the Women's Missionary Fellowship were combined to form the Methodist Women's Fellowship.

The District is now known as Waikato-Waiariki, and contains some 33 parishes and about 50 regular Sunday congregations. Only 6 of the parishes in the District remain Methodist, the other 27 are Union or Cooperating parishes with Methodist as well as Presbyterian/Anglican/Church of Christ/ Congregational membership.

A variety of ministries are exercised within this area including those of local congregations (English-speaking, Tongan, Fijian and Samoan), hospital and tertiary chaplaincies, Methodist City Action, Tamahere Eventide Home and the Epworth Camp. Epworth Camp was developed on gifted land on the banks of the Waikato River, with the first camp held there in 1951. Previously, separate boys and girls bible class camps were held throughout the district after the formalization of the South Auckland Bible Classes in 1905. (The first mixed camp was at Epworth in 1957.) Later district youth councils, education councils and Christian Youth Movement Methodist were established to foster youth work. An Epworth Bookshop which opened in Hamilton in 1961, served the wider district until 1965.

The Christchurch earthquakes have accelerated the need by the District to look carefully at the use of buildings, styles of worship and the Church’s mission and role in society.

Most individual parishes and congregations in the District have published their own histories. Nearly all of these are held in the Hamilton City Library Archives and the Methodist Centre, 62 London St, Hamilton. Copies are also held in the national MCNZ Archives in Auckland, Private Bag 11903, Ellerslie, Auckland 1542 (409 Great South Rd, Penrose, Auckland 1061, phone 09-5254179).

Page 5 POWHIRI: WELCOME TO CONFERENCE The Powhiri (Welcome) to Conference will be held at Claudelands Event Centre, Brooklyn Road, Claudelands, Hamilton, commencing at 10:00am on Saturday 15 November 2014.

The powhiri is the formal process of recognising and acknowledging the coming together of two peoples, those of the place of gathering and those from elsewhere. The powhiri is a process that allows us to acknowledge and mourn our dead together, to honour each other to celebrate and share in a communal and family way. We have adapted this process to reflect the bicultural nature of our church and our deeply rooted sense of social justice as we begin our Methodist Conference each year. It belongs to all of us.

Our hosts this year are the Waikato Waiariki Syond.

Members of Conference and guests (manuhiri) will wait inside Door 5. The karanga (welcoming call) will be the signal to proceed led by Te Taha Māori, the Presidential team and the families of the deceased.

The speakers for the manuhiri will take the front row of seats, the families of the deceased will take up the next few rows and all other conference members will enter and take up seats throughout the venue.

Speeches of greetings and acknowledgements will then commence.

The Presidential lunch for the families of the deceased will be served in the Heaphy 1 after the service. Lunch for everyone else will be in the upstairs foyers.

Please note: No photography is allowed during the Powhiri or other Conference services except by the official photographer. Mobile phones should be switched off.

Tovia Aumua – President Diana Tana – Tumuaki, Te Taha Maori

Page 14 ROLES OF PEOPLE & GROUPS AT CONFERENCE

President Rev Tovia Aumua fills an important pastoral role in the life of Conference and beyond. He shares leadership with the Vice-President and brings a sacramental ministry to the Conference.

Vice-President Mrs Arapera (Bella) Ngaha shares with the President in the leadership role of Conference, and brings a pastoral concern, as well as sharing in the leadership team.

Tumuaki Rev Diana Tana fills this position and provides leadership for Te Taha Maori.

General Secretary The General Secretary, Rev David Bush, acts as the Secretary of Conference and has responsibility for the ordering of the Theology at Work (Business) Sessions of Conference. He is responsible for seeing that the reports are collated and that the business of Conference is dealt with.

Council of Elders Present at Conference will be members of the Council of Elders. The Council consists of four people, two representing Te Taha Maori and two representing the Tauiwi part of the Church (i.e. Pakeha, Pacific Island, African, Asian etc).

Their responsibilities include observing the way things are said and decided at Conference, against the background of the Church’s bi-cultural journey. They may take opportunities to comment on what they see happening, and may intervene if they believe something taking place is contrary to the Church’s bi-cultural commitment.

When a member of the Council speaks in Conference it is on behalf of the whole Council and after consultation with all Elders. The Council seeks to model an equal partnership, with half the Elders representing Te Taha Maori and half Tauiwi (the rest of the Church), and makes its decisions through consensus.

Legal Advisor Ruby Manukia- Schaumkel is appointed by the Conference and attends the Conference to ensure that the finer details of Church Law are adhered to. Presently the Legal Adviser checks all decisions that come to Conference, so as to ensure that the decision can be understood at a later date.

Page 15 Te Taha Maori & Tauiwi Are the partners who make up the life of Conference. Te Taha Maori are Tangata Whenua (the people who are of the land). Tauiwi is the name used within The Methodist Church of New Zealand/Te Hahi Weteriana o Aotearoa to describe the people who have come later to settle here from Europe, Asia, the Pacific, Africa, and other places.

Council of Conference Conference has appointed a Council of Conference made up of 23 members. Ten members are nominated by Te Taha Maori and ten members nominated by Tauiwi. The President, Vice-President and General Secretary are members and act as resource people. The work of the Council is focused on vision, policy and monitoring processes for the Church, rather than decision-making.

Wasewase ko viti kei Rotuma e Niu Siladi The Fijian Synod of the Methodist Church.

Vahefonua ‘o Aotearoa Vahefonua is the Tongan Synod of the Methodist Church which meets during the year to make decisions relating to the life and work of Tongan Congregations.

Sinoti Samoa The Samoan Synod meets through the year and makes decisions relating to the Samoan section of the Church. It reports to Conference.

Boards & Standing Committees The Conference has a number of Standing Committees that meet throughout the year. Each carries out tasks asked of them by Conference and reports to the Conference. The Committees relate to matters such as Ministry, Faith and Order, Mission and Ecumenical and Social Issues.

Youth Delegation The Conference has determined that there will be a youth delegation of 10 present at Conference. In addition, individual parishes may choose to nominate a youth person to represent them. The Youth Delegation tends to sit together in order to caucus as youth and sometimes comment to Conference as youth.
