1 Weekly Newsletter 25 November Aotearoa Sunday 8.00 am Eucharist (Aotearoa Chapel) Dean Ian Render am Choral Eucharist Dean Ian Render 5.00pm Ormond Chapel - Evensong Rev d Jon Williams Please ensure all cellphones are switched OFF when in the Cathedral; and, if necessary, adjust hearing aids to the Loop system. Today is celebrated variously, but in New Zealand, since 1980, as Aotearoa Sunday. This is particularly significant for Waiapu and this Cathedral, because of the milestone event of the ordination here of the first bishop for Maori, Frederick Augustus Bennett. Next Sunday will mark the 90th Anniversary of that occasion. At the time some were insisting that a bishop for Maori should be pākeha! The eventual solution was a classic Anglican compromise: the creation of a titular bishopric with no territorial jurisdiction. On 2 December 1928 Frederick Bennett was consecrated as Bishop of Aotearoa in Napier Cathedral. As assistant to the Bishop of Waiapu, he ministered to Māori throughout the country under licence from diocesan bishops, many of whom opposed this arrangement. Today we also give thanks for the work of the current Pihopa o Aotearoa, the Rt. Rev d Don Tamihere, Archbishop, and we are glad to celebrate today with students from Hukarere & Te Aute kura. See: Low-Gluten wafers (below 20ppm) are available - please advise the Presider, or one of the Welcoming team, if this is your dietary requirement. NOTE: Bell Tower and entrance are earthquake prone as assessed under the Building Act use at your own risk!
