Izisebenzi Zokuqala ZeSonto LikaJesu Kristu ePacific
Ngasekupheleni kuka-1844, izithunywa zevangeli ezivela eSontweni likaJesu Kristu LamaSanta Ekupheleni zazisebenza phakathi kwamaPolynesia eTahiti naseziqhingini ezizungezile.
Izithunywa zevangeli zafika eSandwich Islands (eHawai'i) ngo-1850. Ngo-1865, iSonto LDS lithenge indawo engamahektare angu-6 000 eLaie.
Ithempeli LDS eLa'ie - laqala ngo-1915 futhi lazinikezelwa ngoSuku Lokubonga ngo-1919 - ludonsela abaqhingi beziqhingi abavela kulo lonke elaseSouth Pacific.
Ngawo-1920, izithunywa zevangeli zesonto zase zithwale izimfundiso zabo zobuKristu kuzo zonke iziqhingi ezinkulu zasePolynesia, ngokuhlala phakathi kwabantu nokukhuluma izilimi zabo.
Ngo-1921, uLiee wayekade ekhululekile kakhulu - kangangokuthi uDavid O. McKay, umholi weSonto osemncane ekuhambeni kwezwe lokuhambela kweSonto, wakhathazeka kakhulu njengoba ebheka abantwana besikole bezinhlanga eziningi bethembisa ukwethembeka efulethini laseMelika.
Leso sigameko siboniswe namhlanje emangcwabeni enhle yama-mosaic elele ngaphezu komnyango we-McKay Foyer, isakhiwo se-BYU-Hawaii esibizwa ngokuhlonishwa kukaMcKay.
UMcKay wayecabanga ukuthi isikole semfundo ephakeme siyokwakhiwa emphakathini omncane ukuhamba nethempeli elisanda kugcwaliswa, okwenza uLie ibe isikhungo semfundo nesokomoya se-LDS campus.
I-Church College yaseHawai'i - BYU-Hawai'i
Kusukela ngoFebruwari 12, 1955, ngaphansi kokuqondiswa kwabaqaphi abanolwazi nabadwebi, "izithunywa zevangeli" zakha isikole uMcKay esabonwe ngaphambili amashumi eminyaka ngaphambili, iChurch College of Hawai'i. Emcimbini we-groundbreaking wekolishi, uMcKay wabikezela ukuthi abafundi bayo babezobathinta ngempela izigidi zabantu esikhathini esizayo. (Ngo-1974, iChurch College yaba yikhungo legatsha likaBrigham Young University eProvo, e-Utah. Namuhla, i-BYU-Hawai'i iyisikole sobuciko obukhulu beneminyaka engama-2,200 kanye nabafundi abangu-2,200 abase-undergraduate).
Ngesikhathi sokuvakashela kukaMcKay eLieie ngo-1921, uMathewu Cowley, wayeqedile uhambo lwakhe lokuqala lwezithunywa zevangeli eNew Zealand. Lapho, waqala uthando olujulile kubantu baseMaori namanye amaPolynesia. Ngokuhamba kwesikhathi, waba omunye umholi obalulekile we-LDS owayekhathazekile ngokukhukhula kwamasiko esiko.
Enkulumweni uCowley enikezwe eHololulu, uthe uthemba "... ukubona usuku lapho abantu bami baseMaori behlala khona eNew Zealand bayoba nomzana omncane lapho eLieie ngendlu enhle eqoshiwe ... amaTongan babe nomzana futhi, nabaseTahiti nabaseSamoa nabo bonke labo basolwandle. "
Iziqalo Zesikhungo Senkcubeko YasePolynesiya
Ikhono lomqondo onjalo lwakhiwa kahle ngasekupheleni kwawo-1940 lapho amalunga eSonto eLaïie aqala umkhosi wama-hukilau - umkhosi wokudoba kanye nokuzijabulisa kwePolynesia - njengesenzakalo sokukhulisa isikhwama. Kusukela ekuqaleni, kwabonakala kuvelele kakhulu futhi yanikeza ugqozi lwengoma eyaziwa kakhulu ethi "Hukilau" eqala: "Oh siya e-hukilau ... lapho i-laulau iyi-kaukau e-big luau." Ukuhamba kwezitimela zezihambi kwahamba kwaya eLaie ngawo-1950 ukubona abafundi basePolynesia e-Church College bafaka "iPolynesian Panorama" yabo - ukukhiqizwa kwezingoma ezidumile zaseChristine Pacific nezingoma zomculo.
UCowley akazange aphile ukuze abone iphupho lakhe ligcwaliseke kodwa umbono wawusetshenziswe ezinhliziyweni zabanye abawukhulisayo futhi bawumbumba. Ekuqaleni kuka-1962, uMongameli McKay wanika ukwakhiwa kweColynesian Cultural Centre.
Uyazi ukuthi iphrojekthi ephelele izohlinzeka umsebenzi odingekayo futhi onenjongo kubafundi abahlukumezekile emaphandleni aseLa'ie, kanye nokwengeza ubukhulu obalulekile ezifundweni zabo.
Izithunywa zevangeli ezingaphezu kwezingu-100 zaphinde zazinikela ekusizeni ukwakha izakhiwo ezingu-39 zangasese zePolynesian Cultural Centre endaweni engama-acre angu-16 ngaphambili eyayisetshenziswe ku-taro, izimpande zendabuko ezisetshenziselwa ukwenza ukudla okuyisisekelo. Abanikazi abanekhono kanye nezinto zokuqala ezivela eNingizimu Pacific bangeniswa ngaphakathi ukuze baqinisekise ukuthi ubuqotho bezindlu zendawo.
