This ‘stagnant’ site, is a side project from my day to day, blogging activies at Canterbury Atheists, necessitated due to it's size & content.
Viewing my blog you'll see Z.A.P isn't the first Kiwi indigenous religion I've dissected - but it is certainly the largest piece of journalism I've undertaken & by far the most fascinating.
Should you wish to add a comment, enlighten us any more on the workings of Z.A.P, recollections, corrections etc – I genuinely welcome your input.
If you would like your comments to 'go public' - please go here, to the blog and tell us all, in an open forum environment.
Should you want to contact me directly, my e.mail address is below.
As far as I can ascertain Z.A.P is alive & functioning, be it on a low level basis & they still lack a web presence.
Adherents are down to the hard core, measured in dozens, not hundreds.
The hard-sell street evangelism has long since disappeared.
It appears, Johns ‘flame’ is still being carried by his wife Joy and their son Jens.
The new 'centre of the universe' - their penthouse suite in Christchurch.
I wish them luck.
Paul.
