 Rev John Hebenton, the retiring vicar of the Anglican Parish of Gate Pā offers some thoughts on the importance of remembering the battles of Pukehinahina-Gate Pa and Te Ranga as we renegotiate our way through this crossroad in the life of Aotearoa-New Zealand. 

As this year is the 160th anniversary of the Battle of Pukehinahina-Gate Pa, Gate Pa Anglican Parish offered free lectures to help the community understand our city's history and how it shapes our present.This lecture was in two parts. This is the second, given by Buddy Mikaere. Buddy spoke about the planned New Zealand Wars Museum at Gate Pā, Putake O Te Riri.Buddy is a former Director of the Waitangi Tribunal and a historian with an extensive list of publications. He is a consultant working largely in the resource consents area and has a national client base.

Paraone Koikoi was at the Battle of Gate Pa in 1864, when Tauranga Moana iwi bested the British army in one of the most humiliating defeats in its history. Now, 160 years later, his great-great-great grand-daughter combines her personal story with rigorous history to tell the story of a blockade, bombardment and a famous battle. In episode one, 600 British troops land in Tauranga, Māori return from Waikato to defend their land, radical new pa are built, and a code of conduct for war in drafted.

On the eve the battle, British troops have ringfenced Gate Pa. Māori are out-numbered 7:1. Can they survive the biggest artillery bombardment ever on New Zealand soil and face down the might of empire? It's a clash between the world's most powerful artillery and revolutionary pa design, and one that spills over into more violence at Te Ranga.  Host Justine Murray continues her journey into her whānau's past and the competing truths of Aotearoa's history.

Daisy the Great White shark's tracker has ended up on dry land - and her whereabouts are unknown. Daisy shot to fame this year, when the data on her movements was made public for all to view. She lost her tracker three days ago near Matakana Island, and it later washed up in Tauranga. Data shows it's been picked up and taken to central Gate Pa. Marine biologist Dr Riley Elliot is asking for it to be returned. He says it looks like a mini blimp, and is the size of a beer can. "It's got an aerial on it, it's got a steel tracer on it that goes to a little metal dart- it'll be covered in algae and seaweed and barnacles, potentially."

What we mean by naming Jesus our liberator?All of this weeks passages (Exodus 3:1-15, Romans 12:9-21, Matthew 16:21-28) speak in some way of Liberation.

The call to remove statues and place names that honour racist figures from history is gaining momentum. In Bristol last weekend a statue of slave merchant Edward Colston was thrown into the harbour by Black Lives Matters protesters. And here in New Zealand a statue of Captain John Hamilton was removed from Civic Square in Hamilton after pressure from local iwi. Kaumatua Taitimu Maipi, who had threatened to remove the statue himself, described the battle of Gate Pa leader as a "murderous arsehole". Are these actions erasing history, or simply correcting it? Charlotte Lydia Riley is a historian of contemporary Britain at the University of Southampton who's writing a revisionist history of post-war imperial Britain called Imperial Island.

St. Georges Anglican Church, Gate Pa, sits on the site of the Battle of Gate Pā-Pukehinahina. Each year we offer free lectures to help people understand our history and how it shapes our present. This year we are offering two lectures on the evenings of February 2nd and February 9th at 7pm. Each talk will last about 2 hours. The first talk will be given by Archbishop Sir David Moxon on The Anglican Apology given in 2018 for the Disposal of the Mission Lands in Tauranga in 1867. Copies of the PowerPoint and the wording of the actual apology can be found on the parish websiteIn December 2018 the Anglican Church apologized to ngā iwi o Tauranga Moana, and Ngāi Tamarāwaho and Ngāti Tapu in particular, for the yielding of the Te Papa Mission Block to the New Zealand Government in 1867. This allowed the establishment of the Tauranga military settlement and covers all the land of the CBD up to Gate Pā. In the text of the apology it is acknowledged that in gifting the land, the Anglican church had ultimately failed in its moral obligations to mana whenua, "under intense and undue pressure from the Government of the day". In December 2019 the Anglican Church and the Otamataha Trust, representing Ngāi Tamarāwaho and Ngāti Tapu, signed an agreement on how that apology is to be acted out. On Sunday 2nd February Archbishop Sir David Moxon, the lead Anglican negotiator throughout this process, will talk about the events that are being apologised for, how the apology came about, and the overall hope for the future. Archbishop David is a retired Anglican archbishop. He was until June 2017, the Archbishop of Canterbury's Representative to the Holy See and Director of the Anglican Centre in Rome. He was previously the Bishop of Waikato in the Diocese of Waikato and Taranaki, the archbishop of the New Zealand dioceses and one of the three primates of the Anglican Church in Aotearoa, New Zealand and Polynesia. Archbishop David has been represented the Anglican Church in the negotiations around the apology.

Using Kenneth Bailey's work in "The Good Shepherd " John tries to enter into the world of a shepherd, and see how “David” uses this to describe his trust in God, noting that we need to be careful not to romanticise it.

And then he wonders what all this offers us on this centenary anniversary of the landings at Gallipoli and as we remember the Battle of Gate Pa
