St Andrew's on The Terrace

Change of date: Belonging in this Land - Te Tiriti workshops - Wednesday 30th October and Wednesday November 6th 7-9pm
The Social Justice Education Group is hosting two evening workshops on Te Tiriti o Waitangi and responding as people of faith in this land. We invite you to attend both parts of the workshop.
Conversation about the Treaty is happening all around us.
There is an important opportunity right now to dive into our shared story so that we know our place to stand and how we can belong, wherever our ancestors came from.
'Belonging in this land: Treaty basics from a Christian perspective' is an opportunity for our faith community to explore the story of the Treaty of Waitangi over two 90-minute video sessions. Whether you know a lot, or a little, let’s be curious together.
Brought to us by Common Grace Aotearoa in partnership with Karuwhā Trust and Te Manu Hononga - the Sir Paul Reeves Centre, we will hear from expert presenters, including Dean of Taranaki Cathedral Jay Ruka and former Anglican Archbishop David Moxon, to help you refresh or expand your knowledge.
You can view a short trailer on YouTube here: https://youtu.be/kWVM4T7tiCo?si=41IRrUx0RGrkXdpW
Please register for these workshops so we can plan capacity and some catering. RVSP to [email protected] (04)4729211
We look forward to welcoming you to these workshops.
Paul Barber and David Douglas, SJ Coordinators.

E NEWS 14TH JUNE 2024 Talofa lava, special thanks to Ross and Doug for taking the last two Sunday services. Unfortunately, I've been struck with a very nasty flu for the last four days and it doesn't seem to be relenting. I do not have covid but it feels much worse than any covid I've experienced. Question is when you live on your own who's going to tell you that you might need to get checked for pneumonia if it doesn't go away?...
