Living Legacy Book out now.

Living Legacy: A history of the Anglican Diocese of Auckland is a lively and well illustrated narrative of our history from 1814-2010. Edited by Dr Allan Davidson, ten authors celebrate our achievements and bring critical insights into the ways in which Anglicans have sought to be 'church' in the Diocese of Auckland.

Living Legacy is a story intimately interwoven with the earliest European settlement and contact with Maori, and involves us as Christians in the very heart of 21st century Aotearoa New Zealand.

Living Legacy tells our story: that of Maori, Pakeha, and all cultures; women and men; children and youth; the institutional church and parishes; ordained and laity; social services and prophetic witness; church organisations and schools; and our response to society and the issues of the day.

"It is time that our part of that greater story is properly researched and adequately told, for its successes as well as its failures, its achievements as well as its losses, for it is an interesting story of fallible men and women, sometimes with great courage and foresight, engaged in furthering the Kingdom of God in this context, and across cultures."

- The Right Revd John Paterson, Auckland Diocesan Synod, 2004
