Founded by Tahupōtiki Wiremu Rātana in the early
20th-century.
He preached the Gospel to Māori people and called
himself the "Māori Miracle Man“.
In 1925 the Rātana Church was established as a
separate church.
It is made up of the spiritual laws (the Father, the Son,
the Holy Spirit, and the faithful angels ) and physical
ones.
Rātana and the Labour Party
T.W. Rātana was interested in politics and he was
determined to capture the Māori electorates to give a
voice for his movement.
He called on four followers to be the quarters of his
body and rule the land. The first two Rātana MPs
agreed to vote with Labour and made un an alliance.
The four Māori electorates were held by Rātana
affiliated members of Labour for decades until 1996.
Nevertheless, the Rātana movement is still a major
force in New Zealand politics.
