Am reading a book called Sunday Best by Peter Lineham.
How the church shaped New Zealand and how New Zealand shaped the church.
Its really interesting. I havent read much church history especially about my own country. There were missions stations all around the country and some pockets are more christian than others. Its interesting to go into old churches and see how people worshipped a hundred or so years ago and their traditions, and what the different demonations did or practiced and what they do today.
Only last century the sabbath was held sacred and there was a law forbidding people to work on even shops were closed on the weekend!
