Centenary of Maori Bible The British and Foreign Bible Society, which produced the first Maori Bible in 1868, has been in consultation with Maori Church leaders to plan celebrations to mark the centenary, in next April and May. The Director-General of the Post Office has agreed to the issue of a commemorative postage stamp to mark the occasion, a special illustrated edition of three books of the Bible in English and Maori is to be printed, and Dr ‘Amanake Hauea of Tonga has accepted an invitation to speak at the centennial celebrations in several main centres. As a permanent memorial, the Maori people are to present a carved display case to house the historic Maori Scriptures and manuscripts held by the Society at its headquarters in Willis Street, Wellington.
