New Zealand as a Multireligious Society: Recent Census Figures and Some Relevant Implications
Todd Nachowitz
Let’s face it; we are a religiously diverse nation. Over the years there’s been much talk and a lot written about our rising cultural diversity, but the significant increases in the horizontal growth of our faith-based communities are little mentioned.

We enjoy the fruits of our increasingly cosmopolitan country and, hopefully, become more tolerant of difference. But is tolerance really enough?
