Beliefs & Resources

This set of screens provides links to the main religions represented in New Zealand, specifically focussing on their beliefs and some other resources that the sites offer. The parallel set of pages covers the Organisations associated with those religions.

In addition there are a number of general spiritual sites which are very worthwhile viewing, and these are listed in our Spiritual Links page.

You will find a number of links relate to WebRings. These are operated by WebRing Inc and Yahoo!, and are a circle of linked Web Sites on a specific topic. Click here to find out more about this concept. Ignore any comments about "joining the Ring" as these are directed to Web Site owners - just click on Next Site or List Sites and you are in!

The Statistics New Zealand 2001 Census are not available yet, but Vision NZ have an interesting analysis of the 1986, 1991 and 1996 Census figures as they relate to New Zealanders' spiritual affiliations. These are worth viewing. The official summary for 1996 is viewable on the Statistics New Zealand site.

Another very interesting site for the statistically minded is Adherents.com. This covers 4,200 religions world-wide, but you can also look at New Zealand statistics specifically.
