Māori Ministry in Te Ope Whakaora The Salvation Army

In 1889, The War Cry published a series of articles after a three-day waka journey up the river from Whanganui to Jerusalem (Hiruharama) by a party of Salvationist travellers, including Colonel Josiah Taylor. This excerpt from The Salvation Army Heritage Series, ‘Waka to Jerusalem—Māori Ministry on the Whanganui River’ by Caroline Wardle and Selwyn Bracegirdle, captures Colonel Taylor’s perspectives of the beginnings of Māori Ministry in The Salvation Army: Te Ope Whakaora.
