Book Description
With the arrival of Anglican missionaries to New Zealand in the nineteenth century, Maori were slowly converted to Christianity and recruited to build New Zealand's early churches. These early whare karakia-houses of worship - were in a distinctive and arresting new style that combined elements from Maori art and architecture with British ecclesiastical traditions. In Whare Karakia art historian Richard Sundt chronicles for the first time this early phase of Maori church building in New Zealand. He traces the emergence of seven large-scale whare-style churches from around the North Island - the last standing, Rangiatea at Otaki, burned down in 1995. By the peak decades of the missionary movement (1830s to 1850s), indigenous builders had transformed the small-to-moderate-sized whare into the larger whare-style structure. The whare scheme, with its central row of posts, became the most common building type for Maori churches, and while initially challenging Western architectural presumptions around the use of ritual space, it was later accepted by the Anglican establishment as a convenient model for its missions. Sundt describes the technological process through which this occurred and examines the interactions between Maori and missionaries during this period - from the training Maori received in European building technology, to the resolution of arguments over carving, painting and the use of liturgical space as they applied these skills to their first attempts at church building. A ground-breaking work that sheds new light on the history of religion, architecture, and the story of Maori and Pakeha in New Zealand, Whare Karakia is extensively illustrated with rare and detailed images and plans of churches now destroyed.

Te Hāhi Mihinare | The Māori Anglican Church
Author: Hirini Kaa
Publisher: Bridget Williams Books
ISBN: 0947518762
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 317
Book Description
The arrival of the Anglican Church with its claims to religious power was soon followed by British imperial claims to temporal power. Political, legal, economic and social institutions were designed to be the bastions of control across the British Empire. However, they were also places of contestation and engagement at a local and national level, and this was true of New Zealand. Māori culture was constantly capable of adaptation in the face of changing contexts. This ground-breaking book explores the emergence of Te Hāhi Mihinare – the Māori Anglican Church. Anglicanism, brought to New Zealand by English missionaries in 1814, was made widely known by Māori evangelists, as iwi adapted the religion to make it their own. The ways in which Mihinare (Māori Anglicans) engaged with the settler Anglican Church in New Zealand and created their own unique Church casts light on the broader question of how Māori interacted with and transformed European culture and institutions. Hirini Kaa vividly describes the quest for a Māori Anglican bishop, the translation into te reo of the prayer book, and the development of a distinctive Māori Anglican ministry for today’s world. Te Hāhi Mihinare uncovers a rich history that enhances our understanding of New Zealand’s past.

Book Description
The early arrival of the missionaries in Aotearoa set the scene for a new moral colony that would be founded on religious precepts and modern Christian beliefs. It did not take long for a combination of circumstances to confound the aspirations of the Church Missionary Society, the Church in Rome and all those who followed. Historian Peter Lineham examines Christianity in New Zealand through the lens of cultural development, and asks: If the various denominations and faiths set out to shape New Zealand, how did the very fluid fact of New Zealand change those faiths?

Historical Dictionary of the Reformed Churches
Author: Robert Benedetto
Publisher: Scarecrow Press
ISBN: 0810870231
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 791
Book Description
As its name implies, the Reformed tradition grew out of the 16th century Protestant Reformation. The Reformed churches consider themselves to be the Catholic Church reformed. The movement originated in the reform efforts of Huldrych Zwingli (1484-1531) of Zurich and John Calvin (1509-1564) of Geneva. Although the Reformed movement was dependent upon many Protestant leaders, it was Calvin's tireless work as a writer, preacher, teacher, and social and ecclesiastical reformer that provided a substantial body of literature and an ethos from which the Reformed tradition grew. Today, the Reformed churches are a multicultural, multiethnic, and multinational phenomenon. The second edition of the Historical Dictionary of the Reformed Churches contains information on the major personalities, events, facts, movements, and beliefs of the Reformed churches. This is done through a list of acronyms and abbreviations, a chronology, an introductory essay, appendixes, a bibliography, and over 800 cross-referenced dictionary entries on leaders, personalities, events, facts, movements, and beliefs of the Reformed churches.

Christian Worship in Reformed Churches Past and Present
Author: Lukas Vischer
Publisher: Wm. B. Eerdmans Publishing
ISBN: 9780802805201
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 448
Book Description
Worship renewal is now on the agenda of many Reformed churches, as the need for adaptation and new approaches is acutely felt all over. How can the church faithfully worship God in the midst of rapidly changing situations? How can it constructively relate to widely differing cultural contexts? What is its place in the wider ecumenical scene? In preparing a sweeping survey of Reformed worship across time and place, this volume provides some help to those engaged with vital questions like these. Written by theologians and liturgical scholars from a wide range of churches and countries, these chapters explore the history of Reformed worship on every continent from the sixteenth century to the present. Surveying the most significant developments in the growth of Reformed worship, the book identifies the major "ingredients" that make the Reformed worship tradition distinctive and highlights those aspects of Reformed worship that are particularly relevant to present efforts at renewal. Indeed, an important component of this book is the inclusion of "A Common Reflection on Christian Worship in Reformed Churches Today," the result of a major consultation in January 2001 at the International Reformed Center John Knox. Revealing the rich variety of forms and diversity of perspectives that have made and do make up Reformed worship worldwide, this volume will be a valuable resource for church and worship leaders both in and outside the Reformed family.

The New New Zealand
Author: William Edward Moneyhun
Publisher: McFarland
ISBN: 1476638349
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 252
Book Description
Today's New Zealand is an emerging paradigm for successful cultural relations. Although the nation's Maori (indigenous Polynesian) and Pakeha (colonial European) populations of the 19th century were dramatically different and often at odds, they are today co-contributors to a vibrant society. For more than a century they have been working out the kind of nation that engenders respect and well-being; and their interaction, though often riddled with confrontation, is finally bearing bicultural fruit. By their model, the encounter of diverse cultures does not require the surrender of one to the other; rather, it entails each expanding its own cultural categories in the light of the other. The time is ripe to explore modern New Zealand's cultural dynamics for what we can learn about getting along. The present anthropological work focuses on religion and related symbols, forms of reciprocity, the operation of power and the concept of culture in modern New Zealand society.
