Rodney Hide and author Ewen McQueen explore the rich Christian heritage of New Zealand. Through heartfelt storytelling, he highlights the courageous and self-sacrificial lives of early Christian missionaries like Henry and William Williams, whose efforts in the early 19th century not only introduced Christianity to Aotearoa but also laid a foundation of peace, literacy, and unity among Māori. Far from being colonisers, these missionaries are celebrated for their integrity, resilience, and deep respect for Māori culture. McQueen also shares how the Gospel’s message spread organically through Māori communities, transforming lives and fostering reconciliation
