Hi there,
It's been ages since I've posted here, and sorry to pop in again only to ask a question.
We've just recently moved from Christchurch NZ to Nelson and we're looking for a church. I've traditionally been very, very Anglican and from what we have found so far the diocese is a bit different from Christchurch. Does anyone know where the "dangerous liberal" type Anglicans hang out in Nelson? If they aren't Anglicans where do they go?? We'd like to join them ![[Smile]](smile.gif)

Nelson Dio is not my cup of tea either. When I have visited I've found the local Methodists in the city itself very welcoming.
Given the size of the place, they may even have an idea about more liberal Anglicans - though I suspect those who are more liberal may have either left the church completely or gone elsewhere.
Depending on the degree of your liberality there is also a group of Quakers somewhere in the area that I never tracked down.

Thanks heaps Huia - we'll check the Methodists out.
We're not all that liberal, I guess. But we do seem to have a slightly more inclusive picture of the gospel message than we have encountered so far .

Glad it wasn't just me. Though I must confess that my second thought was: what on earth is anyone doing going to Nelson?

I was thinking Nelson, British Columbia.

On the other hand Nelson NZ has the highest sunshine hours in the country and a higher than average number of potters and other craftspeople. Apart from Christchurch it would be my favourite city for the friendliness of its people, a couple of independent bookshops and Penguinos - the best ice-cream shop in the world (but only open in summer months).
