A MAORI BISHOP “Hori” asks: “And why not a Maori bishop? How can you properly call it a Maori diocese if you haven’t a Maori bishop? There is a lot of talk among the pakeha about uniting the Maoris in the Kingdom of God—under a pakeha bishop—oh, yes! That is the pakeha Christianity, is it—for the pakeha? The Maoris will never be united in religion under a pakeha. Give them a Maori bishop, yes. They will respond and see' things more clearly under a religious leader of their own race. What do they think of the pakeha religion when the- pakeha wants to' keep the big appointments of it to themselves and let the Maori clergy do all the footwork? Are not the educated Maoris as fit for high office as the pakehas? What of the late Sir James Carroll; what of the brilliant Sir Maui Pomare, the no less brilliant Sir Apirana Ngata, and Dr. Peter Buck? Other Maoris with 'the same opportunities would do the same credit to their race and to New Zealand. It is not merely the right of the Maoris to ask for a Maori bishop; it is their right to demand one. Let the demand be firmly made and it cannot be resisted.”
