  Christian Heritage New Zealand - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Christian Heritage NZ claimed it has broad based support from members of various Protestant denominations and the Roman Catholic church, although many of its past members appeared to be members of the tiny Reformed Churches of New Zealand, composed largely of conservative Calvinist Dutch immigrants.
Also inspired by the Christian Heritage Party of Canada, the Christian Heritage Party of New Zealand was founded in 1989 to promote "Biblical principles" in politics, although the party's leadership generally claimed that its policies were advantageous even for those who are not Christian.
Christian Heritage's support defected to United Future New Zealand, a merger of Future New Zealand (a successor to the Christian Democrats) and Peter Dunne's United New Zealand, which had occurred in 2000.

New Zealand is the only country in the world in which all the highest offices in the land are occupied by women - The Sovereign Queen Elizabeth II of New Zealand, Governor-General Dame Silvia Cartwright, Prime Minister Helen Clark, Speaker of the New Zealand House of Representatives Margaret Wilson and Chief Justice Dame Sian Elias.

It was an alliance of the Christian Heritage Party and the Christian Democrats, New Zealand's two largest Christian parties.
There were also complaints from the Christian Democrats that Christian Heritage was dominating the Coalition, and that Graham Capill (leader of Christian Heritage and of the Coalition as a whole) was running the party "autocratically".
Christian Heritage remained an independent party, but did not meet with the same success that it did while part of the Coalition.

 Election Resources on the Internet: Elections to the New Zealand House of Representatives
The Parliament of New Zealand consists of a single chamber, the House of Representatives, composed of 120 members directly elected by universal adult suffrage for a three-year term of office.
As a result, New Zealand governments have been coalitions of either of the two major parties with one of the smaller parties, usually supported by other minor parties outside government on the basis of more-or-less formal agreements.
Meanwhile, New Zealand First was able to secure five seats in Parliament with only 4.2% of the party vote by winning the electorate seat of Tauranga, where party leader Winston Peters was elected with a majority of sixty-three votes out of 33,781 valid votes.

Members of Christian Heritage should be horrified at his minimisation of the admitted criminal behaviour of Capill.
At a time when many New Zealanders are deploring a perceived decline in moral standards in this country, the Christian political movement should have a role to play.
Yet, even though Christian Heritage New Zealand apologised for the actions of its disgraced former leader and distanced itself from the man's crimes, it was clearly damaged during last month's election.

The Māori Party, a political party in New Zealand based around Māori citizens, formed around Tariana Turia, a former Labour Party member who had been a New Zealand Cabinet minister in the current Labour-dominated coalition government.
The foreshore and seabed controversy, a debate about whether Māori have legitimate claim to ownership of part or all of New Zealand's foreshore and seabed, became the catalyst for setting up the Māori Party.

 Catholic World News : New Zealand Methodist Minister Criticized For Sex Advice
CHRISTCHURCH, New Zealand (CWN) - Christian leaders in New Zealand on Friday called for the dismissal of the country's only openly homosexual Methodist minister after he told freshman university students not to let Christian morals deter them from having extramarital sex.
The Rev. David Bromell wrote in a magazine for new students that sex is the fulfillment of the "divine and human existence." In interviews on Wednesday, Bromell further stated that the traditional view of Christian morality only allows sex between heterosexual, married couples.
The Rev. Graham Capill, the director of the Christian Heritage Party, said the article is a clear contradiction of Scripture and said Bromell should be removed from his position as superintendent of the Christchurch Methodist Mission.

The remaining tensions over this issue added to the obstacles New Zealand Baptists faced due to ministerial shortages and logistical and geographical difficulties.
The documents show that Baptists in New Zealand labored under considerable difficulty in swaying the public mind because they were few in number and because they were often associated with fundamentalism or closed-mindedness.
