The Rev. A. B. Kena The death has occurred of the Rev. A. B. Kena, Pastor of Otaki's historic Maori church, Rangiatea. He had been in indifferent health for the past year. Ordained in Auckland in 1940, after attending St John's College there he was attached to the Maori mission field in that area until 1948, when he transferred to Putiki, Wanganui. He remained there for four years before accepting a call to Feilding. He came to Otaki in 1958. During the greater part of his term with the Ministry he has devoted his activities to the mission field and to furthering the work of youth club groups. He became a recognized, colourful exponent of Maori folk lore when performing at youth club festivals on many of the Dominion's maraes.
