Summary: "This is the forgotten story of five pioneering clergymen and their endeavours to bring the faith of the Church to the people isolated in the everlasting bush of the Diocese of Auckland in the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries ... Edward Clarke spent sixty-nine years of his life working tirelessly towards the goal of Christian hope for Maori. Philip Walsh left a legacy not only in his ministry but also in church architecture, artwork, scientific papers, and the design of the Marsden Cross at Oihu. Canon Haselden's name is forever remembered for his involvement in the recovery of many bodies from the wreck of the SS Wairarapa on Great Barrier Island in 1894, although his influence visiting small and remote corners of the Diosces as first Home Missioner was immense. Archdeacon Benjamin Dudley was initially involved in the Melanesian Mission and then became the first Vicar of Holy Sepulchre Parish as its boundaries stretched as far away as the Waitakere Ranges and Helensville. And Archdeacon William Calder, after first contributing to the expansion of the church in the Waikato, went on to lead the establishment of Lay Readers throughout the Diocese from his base as Vicar of All Saint's Ponsonby for many years, and to preside over the election of no less than four Bishops over a short space of time"--Page 7.
