ST MICHAEL'S
ANGLICAN CHURCH
St Michael's Māori Anglican Church functions first and foremost as a house of worship (a church or whare karakia). It also serves as a place of assembly and discussion (whare rūnanga), a place of teaching and learning (whare wānanga), and a place of accommodation (whare puni). When bereavement occurs, it is made available to all people for the purpose of mourning their loved ones.
I was ordained as a Deacon and as a Priest in the Anglican Church of Aotearoa New Zealand and Polynesia at St Michael's by Bishop Waitohiariki Quayle. I am now serving as the Priest-in-Charge of St Michael's.
The carving of the right amo (the right bargeboard) of the whare was designed by Calvin Kereama. Here is my shared whakapapa with Calvin Kereama.

The below image is also from the St Michael's commemorative booklet (1982). It shows that the first lay reader was Hoani Meihana Te Rangiotu.
Here is my shared whakapapa with Hoana Meihana Te Rangiotu. This also shows one of my many direct ancestral lines to the Rangitāne iwi, as Te Aweawe was a great great grandson of Rangitāne.
