Pompallier Te Hokinga Mai Exhibition
An exhibition of photographs by Karel Lorier following the journey of the remains of Bishop Pompallier, from Paris to the Hokianga, where they were interred in April 2002, is on at the Auckland Museum until February 2004.
The exhibition of over 100 photographs is supplemented by a number of Pompallier's personal effects. The images record the exhumation of his remains in Puteaux on the outskirts of Paris, a requiem mass perfomred by his local church in Lyon, and the farewell of his body from Notre Dame. Also chronicled is the three month hikoi to places of significance to Bishop Pompallier in New Zealand.

"Real Life" on NewstalkZB
The Christian Broadcasting Association is encouraging everybody to tune in to the "Real Life" radio programme with Ian Grant on Newstalk ZB on Sunday's 8-10pm.
"Real Life offers practical help with parenting and relationship issues to listeners who may never set foot in a church. The goal of the programme is to inspire, inform and communicate the Christian Faith creatively. The programme has tackled such issues as drugs, pornography, abortion, anger and suicide. We've also dealt with issues of the home such as how to build your family into a team, raising boys and creating family fun.
The Network has committed to broadcasting the programme until at least this Christmas. Continuation after that depends on audience ratings and if the audience increases it is likely to continue. So the Commission is asking people to invite friends, family and neighbours to tune into the show.
For your local NewstalkZB frequency, check out the Real Life website at
Summer School
Wanaka, 11 - 16 January 2004
<typohead type=2>Pharaohs or Ferrets: Who rules?</typohead>
What could these two images of 'rulers' possibly have in common? What relevance do they have to contemporary society and why should a Summer School organised by the Upper Clutha parish use these images for publicity?
Come to sunny Central and prepare to be challenged, to discuss and to explore. Hear Associate Professor Robert Patman of Otago University share his considerable expertise in international relations, global politics and human rights. Listen to Dr Carolyn King from Waikato University as she explores whether or not science and religion are in conflict, and what we can do about the approaching environmental crisis. Make music with Janet Sim Elder in practical workshops and reflect theologically on the issues raised with Peter Marshall.
Seminars and workshops will occupy the mornings but then you are free to explore the surrounds of Wanaka and Hawea or the Haast or even Mt Cook.. So much to see and do so plan to join us in January. Some accommodation is available so ask if you need a bed.
We'd like to receive your registration by the end of November. Contact the Browns phone 03 443 1044 or email
