Greetings

Council of Assembly met for the first time since General Assembly 2018 on 15-16 November 2018. We were the guests of the Synod of Otago and Southland and, as part of the gathering, we were updated on some work streams of the Synod. We thank them for the opportunity to meet in Dunedin.

In the December 2018 edition, Moderator, the Rt Rev Fakaofo Kaio, asks us to pay attention to the spiritual and pastoral wellbeing of our older members. “Cherish and up lift them. Remind them that they are valued and loved,” says Fakaofo.

The UNESCO Memory of the World New Zealand Trust announced today that the Presbyterian Church of Aotearoa New Zealand Deaconess Collection has been awarded prestigious documentary heritage status.
