BISHOP FOR MAORIS
SPIRITUAL LINK FOR • RACE PROPOSAL BEFORE SYNOD (From Our Resident Reporter.) WELLINGTON, To-day. The appointment of a Maori assistant bishop to work among those of his own race in the dioceses of such bishops as were willing to accept him in that capacity is recommended by General Synod to bring down a report in regard to the Maori bishopric. The committee urged that the canon enacted in 1925 to create a separate diocese be rescinded, and points out that a bishop, as they suggested, would have no diocese or synod of his own, but he would be a spiritual link binding together the Maori people. After the chairman, Bishop Sedgewick, had read the committee’s finding, he gave notice of motion to move that a resolution embodying the principle suggested by the committee in the report be incorporated in a canon. This motion is set down to be moved at to-day’s session of synod, when discussion will be taken on the report.
