PANTON, Rev George Ann
He was sent out by the Colonial Committee of the Free Church of Scotland, and arrived
In Auckland 15.1.1849, stipend to be 150 pounds ($300) for the first two years, then 300
pounds ($600). After some vexatious delays and financial troubles a Church was opened
on 7.4.1850.
St Andrews Auckland 1849
The Colonial Committee paid passage for him and his family, 50 pounds ($100) for outfit,
And was responsible for another $300 for the first 2 years for stipend. The new Church,
St Andrews, cost 3,500 pounds ($7,000).
“Mr Paton was a spiritually minded man, possessed the affection of his people, and
seemed likely to have a career of increasing usefulness as a pioneer minister, but
disagreement crept in between him and his office bearers (the Panton controversy),
and he returned to Scotland in October 1850.

“A man of very strong convictions he would never compromise what he believed to
be true. He had a real passion for the Gospel of Jesus Christ whom he served
wholeheartedly. His preaching was firmly based in the Scriptures and he had a real
desire to see young teenagers come to Christian commitment. To this end he taught
senior Bible Class in his parishes. Since his wife died in 1995 he could not sleep for
more than four or five hours so rose early to pray for up to three hours before

“Joan is remembered and much loved for her period of stated supply at St Aidan’s,
Hastings where she assisted the parish to unite with St David’s. She was founding
Chaplain of the Hastings Chapter of St Luke’s – the ecumenical healing ministry –
and active in hospital chaplaincy. For several years Joan was half-time assistant
Minister at St John’s. They were exciting years in the midst of the renewal
movement and involved Life in the Spirit seminars. She held most positions in the
Hawke’s Bay Presbytery. It was in the field of personal individual growth that
appealed to her most; helping people to healing and wholeness in the widest
possible sense. When Spiritual Growth Ministries began to train Spiritual Directors
she was able to do their second pilot course and was accredited in 1991.
As the fourth woman to be ordained by the Presyterian. Church of Aotearoa New
Zealand and the first to train extra-murally, Joan paved the way for community
based training movements within our church. When Joan reflected on her life
she realised how pioneering she was, yet at no time during the process did she
consider it in that way. She simply responded to God, took each step in obedience
and expected to be able to do what God thought necessary and then got on with it.”

of NZ schools as she waited for an opening overseas.
