It notes that in the New Zealand Anglican church, Maori church communities reside in five bishoprics and meet as a self-governing part of the whole Anglican church in New Zealand, which also includes Polynesian and European communities. Their subsequent struggle for emancipation led to the re-institution of bishoprics in 1853, and from 1868 onwards to an ideological struggle with liberalism. Following colonial precedent, the government proposed to the Vatican the names of those to fill the archbishopric of Bahia and eight other bishoprics. |
