CONGREGATIONAL CHURCH
New Building For Newton
’The Press" Special Service
AUCKLAND, November 12. A modern Congregational Church, outwardly of radical design yet. in its pulpit arrangement, dating back to the days of John Bunyan, will be built in Newton.
Pacific Islanders’ Congregational ministers in Auckland are sending out 7000 notices in a wide appeal to raise money for a £30,000 steel-and-glass structure. The appeal is being launched in New Zealand, the Islands and in England simultaneously, and it is hoped to have the church built bv 1960.
The church, which is designed to scat 450, is urgently needed because congregations at services in the present 96-year-old building overflow regularly. The Islanders themselves—Samoans. Cook Islanders and Niueans—have already given more than £4OOO to buy the new section and. in a packed thanksgiving service a week ago, gave another £4OO.
