The Royal New Zealand Navy Band playing ‘E Pari Ra’ in formal acceptance of the song as their official ‘slow march’ bishop Lesser, Primate of New Zealand, and the retiring Bishop Panapa. There were moments of fun and loud laughter … a rousing haka from the Maori clergy … a challenge from Arawa as to why the Bishop of Aotearoa was only a kaimahi, a servant, to the Archbishop — ‘This has been on my mind for several years, but you can give me a reply before I go home’ … Mr Roysion Brown quoting I he remark made by a Waikeria boy when he was told he was going to Bishop Bennett's consecration — ‘I didn't know he Bishop Bennett's fellow-clergymen join in the hymn ‘Loving Shepherd of Thy Sheep’ as the welcoming speeches come to an end The Rt Rev. E. Helepua, Assistant Bishop of Polynesia, hands Bishop Bennett a staff and ring, gifts from the retiring Bishop of Polynesia, the Rt. Rev. J. C. Vockler National Publicity Studies was dead!’ … and Rt Rev. Kennedy's saying he was ‘glad there weren't more than seven tribes as he was getting hungrier.’ Before the guests sat down to a sumptuous meal, Commodore L. G. Carr, D. S. C., of the Royal New Zealand Navy, expressed thanks to the Tomoana family for allowing the use of the song ‘E Pari Ra’, composed by the late Mr P. H. Tomoana, as the Navy Band's official slow march. He presented a memorial plaque to Mrs Wi Huata, a member of the Tomoana family, and said that the lament would receive the greatest respect at all times and would be an integral part of the music, played on ceremonial occasions.
