Information About

Anglican Church In Aotearoa, New Zealand And Polynesia




Since 1992 , the church (formerly known as the Church of the Province of New Zealand) has consisted of three ''tikanga'' or cultural streams: '''Aotearoa''', '''New Zealand''', and '''Polynesia'''. The 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".

Residential theological training is carried out primarily at St John's College, Auckland , which is also organised along similar lines.
