RELIGION: In this urban situation, the religious needs of the Maori are adequately supplied by some churches and not by others. Besides myself, the Roman Catholics have a permanent priest, and use Ngati-Poneke once a month. The Ratana also have monthly services there. The Latter Day Saints have at least six men in the area which constitutes my Pastorate. Church attendance comparatively is poor. An interesting development over the last two years is the increase in the number of Maori families who have affiliated with a local parish church after Maori arts and crafts were introduced there as a social activity. It all started with the sending of the children to the local Sunday school. It is my opinion that where this tendency exists it should be allowed to continue or even encouraged, for the greater the sharing within the community, the more successful will be the integration and the less will be the frustrations and tensions.
