Baptists in New Zealand have built few lasting denominational
institutions. In keeping with a congregational emphasis, the focus has
been on the local church. The Missionary Society, born out of the
recognition that some tasks are better done together, is an obvious
exception. Another is Carey Baptist College. From nondescript
beginnings, the college has become a broad-based theological provider in
the first rank of New Zealand institutions. This volume unfolds the
story of this crucial Baptist venture. The deeper narrative is of
relationships, innovation and commitment. It is a story worth telling.
