Story: Pacific churches in New Zealand

Ecumenical procession (2nd of 3)

Ecumenical procession

Some New Zealand-based Pacific Island churches have a strong ecumenical focus, often coming together with other denominations to celebrate Christian festivals such as Easter. Here members of Dunedin's Pacific Island Presbyterian Church join a procession of Anglicans, Baptists, Catholics and other Presbyterians carrying a cross symbolising Christ's crucifixion through the Botanic Garden on Good Friday in 2008.
