| Summary: | Crossing the borders of religion presents challenges and provides opportunities. This article presents a contextualized case study from Aotearoa New Zealand, examining the lifelong relationship between Presbyterian missionary Rev. John “Hoani” Laughton (1891–1965) and Māori leader Rua Kēnana (1869–1937). Photography, as a tool in discerning lived theologies, suggests a side-by-side relationship of reciprocity and particularity. Relationships across differences are revealed not in theory but in lived practices of education, worship and prayer, life and death. The argument is that Kēnana and Laughton enacted theologies of fulfillment, grounded in different epistemologies: mātauranga Māori and Enlightenment thinking. |
