Abstract | The northern hemisphere-focussed liturgical calendar is uncomfortably dislocated in Aotearoa New Zealand on account of inverted seasonal conditions and unique geography which diverge from the calendar’s contextual origins. Inculturation of the liturgical year into Aotearoa New Zealand is essential in order to weave the northern hemisphere-formed Christian cycle of feasts and seasons into harmony with the natural world as experienced by New Zealanders, and thus to enable them better to make sense of the incarnation and its salvific message in their time and in their place. |
