Welcome
This site has no official connection whatsoever to the Anglican Church in Aotearoa, New Zealand and Polynesia. It is simply an example of the sort of simple, free website that can be quickly produced by using the instructions provided on the Liturgy website. This site was produced in less than half an hour.
It is my hope that this site will encourage Anglicans and others to produce simple, up-to-date free websites.
The Anglican Church in Aotearoa, New Zealand and Polynesia, is a constitutionally autonomous member of the worldwide Anglican Communion comprising over 80 million members in 44 regional and national member churches around the globe in over 160 countries.
This province was formerly known as the Church of the Province of New Zealand. It now consists of three tikanga or cultural streams: Aotearoa (Maori), New Zealand (Pakeha), and Polynesia (Polynesian). The 1992 church’s constitution says that, among other things, it is required to “maintain the right of every person to choose any particular cultural expression of the faith”. As a result the church’s General Synod has agreed upon the development of the three-person primacy based on this three tikanga system.
