    A New Zealand Prayer Book

    Just out of curiosity, does anyone else use "A New Zealand Prayer Book" from the Anglican Church in Aotearoa, New Zealand, and Polynesia? Or have you used it in your congregations for service? At my previous parish, we used to use the New Zealand Prayer Book for one of our services.
