Synopsis

Methodist women were among the earliest settlers in New Zealand. Many Maori women have joined them in aroha, finding an expression of their spirituality through the Christian faith. 'Out of the Silence' tells of the contribution of Methodist women to Church and society over a century and a half. It contains stories of pioneering courage, of women's resourcefulness, and their support for one another. At the same time, it reflects changes in attitudes towards women and the movement towards a greater use of their talents in the wider ministry of the Church.
