The milestone 65th appeal found the iconic image that drove this year’s theme of “share the care” soon after Haiti’s devastating January 7.0 earthquake. Although smaller than the 7.1 quake that hit Canterbury in September the results were hugely different. Haiti had about 250,000 deaths and still has over 1.5 million displaced people living in appalling conditions in temporary camps. The compelling image of the mother and baby came from a CWS global partner, ACT (Action by Churches Together) Alliance photographer Paul Jeffrey. He was in Haiti within days of the quake when he took his picture of the Haitian mother Bathtime rises above lovingly bathing her baby among the ruins of the capital, Port-au-Prince. It was one of a series of redemptive images of resilience, courage and love that the chaos CWS staff recognised as telling a strong It’s this spirit that needs support and instead strong and able even in massive story of how the people of Haiti were encouragement. adversity,’’ Pauline says. coping with disaster. CWS has both global and local partners The image echoes the CWS ethos of CWS national director Pauline McKay in Haiti to support. supporting people in partnership with an says the image shows vividly how people “What we loved about this picture is that implicit understanding that both parties can in crisis can still rise above chaos. it shows people unwilling to be victims but learn from each other. The mother and child theme also echoes the underlying Christian ethos that inspired the original Christmas Appeal and those that have followed. In a year when sudden changes to government funding have jeopardised much of the work CWS does, it’s also timely to remind supporters of how much good the organisation has done over the years. It’s almost impossible to quantify how many lives have been changed for the better, so CWS is celebrating its achievements by spotlighting partner stories from Uganda, Tonga, Haiti and Gaza. Supporters will see how CWS supports those caring for HIV and AIDS so everyone gets better quality of life; how healing is helped through therapy programmes for children traumatised by war and disaster; how health supports help mothers and children against a backdrop of war; and how people can reclaim ancestral farming techniques and end up eating healthier and cheaper food.

Because Poihaere is the first woman to be ordained in the 130-year history of that landmark Rotorua church. St Faith’s sits in a special place. It’s on a promontory that juts out into Lake Rotorua, and at the east end of the church there’s that famous etched-glass window of Christ wearing his korowai, walking on the waters. But if you spin on your heels and head out the western doors of the church you see Tamatekapua, the main meeting house of the Arawa tribes, just 100 metres away. This is heartland Te Arawa. In particular, this is Ngati Whakaue territory, and in Ngati Whakaue lore this spot is tapu. Ngati Whakaue are strict about tradition, and some people insist that Ngati Whakaue kawa should apply at St Faith’s, too. No women priests, in other words. No female deacons. When Rahu Katene was ordained Pihopa o te Manawa o te Wheke in October 2006 – at Tamatekapua, in fact – he made it clear that change was on its way. In his first kauwhau as Bishop at St Faith’s, he spelled out why change had to come.

The purpose of the booklet is not only to provide you with details on how donations are being used, but to offer some ideas on how to target your support to a project that you feel particularly passionate or strongly about. We hope this will in turn help to make missions-giving for you even more meaningful. Each project has been developed in partnership with those who will directly benefit. Selecting and then funding projects to be supported is decided annually by the Anglican Missions Board in line with our projected budget. Each project aligns with one or more of the ‘5 Marks of Mission’ which encourages all churches to: • Evangelise (proclaim the good news of the Kingdom); • Nurture (teach, baptise and nurture the Christian faith); • Serve (respond to human needs by loving service); • Preserve (preserve the integrity of creation for future generations); and • Transform (transform unjust structures of society, challenge violence of every kind and pursue peace and reconciliation).

  • 1991 Lecture
    THE TWENTY-SEVENTH JAMES BACKHOUSE LECTURE 1991 LOVING THE DISTANCES BETWEEN: RACISM, CULTURE AND SPIRITUALITY David James and Jillian Wychel The James Backhouse Lectures This is one of a series of lectures instituted by Australia Yearly Meeting of the Religious Society of Friends on the occasion of the establishment of that Yearly Meeting in 1964. This lecture was delivered in Perth on 5 January 1991 during the Yearly Meeting. James Backhouse was an English Friend who visited Australia from 1832 to 1838. He and his companion, George Washington Walker, travelled widely but spent most of their time in Tasmania. It was through their visit that Quaker Meetings were first established in Australia. The two men had access to individual people with authority in the young colonies, and with influence in the British Parliament and social reform movement. In painstaking reports and personal letters to such people, they made practical suggestions and urged legislative action on penal reform, on land rights and the treatment of Aborigines, and on the rum trade. James Backhouse was a botanist and naturalist. He made careful observations and published full accounts of what he saw, in addition to encouraging Friends and following the deep concern for the convicts and the Aborigines that had brought him to Australia. Australian Friends hope that this series of lectures will bring fresh insights into truth, often with reference to the needs and aspirations of Australian Quakerism. Joan Courtney Presiding Clerk Australia Yearly Meeting Copyright 1991 by The Religious Society of Friends (Quakers) in Australia Incorporated ISBN 0 909885 32 X Produced by Margaret Fell Quaker Booksellers and Publishers ABOUT THIS LECTURE Cultural discrimination by one people against another whose culture they despise is an age-old phenomenon; but racism against indigenous peoples (or First Nations) is more recent, a product of empire and exploitation which arose only a generation or two before Quakerism.

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.

    CONSTRUCTING THE IDENTITIES OF PLACE: AN EXPLORATION OF MĀORI AND ARCHAEOLOGICAL HERITAGE PRACTICES IN AOTEAROA NEW ZEALAND By Elizabeth Dale Pishief A thesis submitted to Victoria University of Wellington in fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Museum and Heritage Studies Victoria University of Wellington 2012 Fig. 1: Map of New Zealand showing major settlements. i ii Contents Page Map of New Zealand i Abstract v Acknowledgements vii Abbreviations ix List of figures xi Introduction: Exploration of place, person and performance 1 Chapter one: Māori land-based heritage within the settlers’ discourse 55 Chapter two: The imperative of science: the archaeological discourse 81 Chapter three: Te Ao Māori: the Māori discourse 129 Chapter four: Place, performance, person and ‘the Connect’ 177 Conclusion 229 Glossary 237 Bibliography 241 iii iv Abstract This thesis examines a problem in current heritage practice, namely, the statutory management of archaeological sites separately from other heritage places with the consequent loss of many sites of importance to Māori. It explores places and the different meanings and practices of heritage constructed around them by archaeologists and Māori in Aotearoa New Zealand where such questions have not been critically examined in great depth. The study responds to this gap in the literature by setting out to develop a theory of heritage practice that enables the effective translation of peoples’ heritage aspirations into a workable model of heritage management in place of the current framework. The research has used an interdisciplinary theoretical framework developed from the literature of heritage studies and related fields, which builds on Laurajane Smith’s work on archaeology and the authorised heritage discourse, but also includes writing on governmentality, phenomenology, kinaesthesia, agency, and material culture.

  • Meets the “Gaze”: Medical Science and Its Normalisation of the Maori Body
    When The “Gaze” Meets The “gaze”: Medical Science And Its Normalisation Of The Maori Body CARL TE HIRA LEWIS MIKA When the “Gaze” meets the “gaze”: Medical science and its normalisation of the Maori body. Carl Te Hira Lewis Mika A thesis submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the Degree of Master of Indigenous Studies Te Whare Wananga o Awanuiarangi February 2005 i ABSTRACT Western medical science is hailed as being omniscient and is lauded as a discoverer, with the body as its trove. Recent innovations have fortified the populist belief that medical science is indispensable and that it can lead all to a grander future: indeed, other knowledge around the body, sourced in specific and local cultures, is perceived by proponents of medical science as a hindrance to its illustrious progress. The incarnation of the ‘Gaze’, and its attendant normalising regard for the body as prompted by medical science, can occur through such practices as the apotheosis of the ‘traditional authentic’. Thus the traditional Maori ‘gaze’, and its accommodation of the fluidity of the body, can become corrupted; mutual encounters of the ‘Gaze’ and the ‘gaze’, with hegemonic adoption of the former, can divest the body of its mutability. The view proposed here is that such encounters and adoptions divest the body of its traditional fluidity, rob Maori societies of their intrinsic diversities, and thus threaten to render Maori societies banal and self-colonising. ii TABLE OF CONTENTS ABSTRACT.............................................................................................................i
