Muru Walters, the author of "Kahui Tane: An Experience of Tane Sexuality" discusses issues of tane or male sexuality, Maori culture, abuse of women, and mana. This paper is primarily written from a Christian perspective. The author refers to historical understandings of male sexuality, and links these with current understandings and the behaviour of some Maori men. The connection to tane sexuality, violent crime, and abuse especially against women is explored. The paper emphasises the importance of power and domination in tane culture, and how this can become destructive. The relationship between Maori gangs and women, and the relationship between men, women and the land are also discussed. The author then ties the discussion in with biblical messages. The paper includes a proactive response by Anglican Maori to tane issues. A 'new vision' to help break down tane issues is also explored. In "'Women, Why Are You Weeping?': Gender Violence in the Family", Janet Crawford directly confronts the issue of male perpetrated violence against women or gender violence in intimate partner relationships. Findings from the Roper Report (1987) are drawn on to emphasise that gender violence is prevalent throughout society. The private nature of gender violence is also explored. Numerous forms of male violence against women and some reasons why women stay in violent relationships are listed. This paper also investigates why men abuse women. From an historical perspective the author discusses the lack of support by the Church on this issue, and its responsibility and increased proactivity today. Furthermore, there is an historical overview of women's subordination to men. This supports the author's discussion on the connection between Christian teaching and family violence.
