  • A quiet community on the outskirts of Auckland. No church, not many christians, just a few bogans, a few retired oldies, some young families and a lot of bush and birds. The link above saying that Jesus will return to Parau may seem unikely but in fact it could be frignteningly accurate. The big hall in the middle of Parau with large fields around it has belonged to various organisations with different links to Jesus: 1/ St John's Ambulance owned it for a long time - link to Jesus is they're named after someone who predicted Jesus' birth and then knew him personally. Despite this connection it is considered unlikely that Jeus was in Parau at this time. 2/ The next owners were the Da Free John movement in Auckland. They're a hippy/dippy spiritual movement led by a sharebroker turned guru who claims to be the reincarnation of 'the special chosen guide'. This super-spirit was incarnated as Jesus approximately 2000 years ago, apparently. Unfortunately Mr Da Free John never visited this hall in New Zealand though his devotees certainly wrestled with his existence and claims of being Jesus in this hall. 3/ The most recent owners were PIC, Pacific Island Church based in Newton, Auckland. Despite never being seen using the builkding by locals it would be fair to say that at some point during their tenure they held a prayer ceremony in their new purchase. so at last Jesus was in the house. 4/ Who are the new owners? Is Jesus going to return to Parau? Messrs Salud above seems to know more about this than the rest of Parau.
