Abstract
There are primarily two reasons why this work was undertaken: First, to enlighten members of the Presbyterian Church of the history of the Pacific Islander’s Church, and to understand this development, and secondly, to identify and analyse some of the dynamics of Polynesian Christianity which have enriched the Presbyterian form of church government.
Not every member of the Pacific Islander’s Presbyterian Church understands how their church came into existence, who began it, when and why. It is also possible that many Europeans and Maoris of the Presbyterian Church in New Zealand share in this ignorance. This attempt, therefore, hopes to shed light on the evolution of the migrant's church, which has become a notable feature of our present day society.
