Waitangi Day
It was a genuine honour to represent the Presbyterian Church of Aotearoa New Zealand, along with the Moderator of Te Aka Puahou Rev Tamiana Thrupp, at the Waitangi Day commemoration of the 186th signing of Te Tiriti o Waitangi. Both Tamiana and I took part in the Dawn Service and then the Ecumenical Service later in the morning. Following Tamiana, I read out the following supplied statement as the third speaker at both services:
"We gather today on this 186th anniversary year of the signing of Te Tiriti o Waitangi to commemorate and honour the compact in which Maori and Pakeha together made a nation. We remind ourselves of the principle of an enduring, respectful and honest pledge between two peoples. We recognise the struggle into which all people must enter in every generation, so that all who come to these shores, may be included under the mantle of Te Tiriti, drawn up, debated, agreed upon and signed here at Waitangi. We recall the faith which enabled the foundation of this agreement and to invite all peoples of this nation to likewise find direction, belonging and hope."
I warmed to what I read in my cameo appearance in front of an estimated gathering of 1,000 people, and whoever was watching on national TV. I spent the rest of the time in the back row of the roro/mahau/porch (not sure which word to use) watching the Dawn Service continue. The Church leaders, the Governor General, the Chief Justice, the leaders or deputy leaders of our political parties, the leaders of the Armed Forces, Police and Emergency Services, all 18 dignitaries in total, prayed a prayer during the service. More than one politician walked the tight rope between making political statements and aspirational statements, the Deputy Prime Minister’s “prayer my way” got a loud reaction for three or four in the crowd, then a chant of “pray, pray, pray” breaking out. All of that didn't matter as both services were solidly Christian with the stretch of grace about them.
The reflection was given by the first Roman Catholic to do so at Waitangi, The Most Reverend Stephen Lowe DD - Bishop of Auckland. He spoke about, among other things, the role of Bishop Pompallier in the lead up to the signing of the Treaty and the inclusion of Article 4 at his suggestion giving religious freedom to all those in New Zealand.
Of special significance for me was the reading of Te Tiriti o Waitangi and a modern translation of the Treaty of Waitangi from Māori into English by Professor Sir Hugh Kawharu.
Some reflections
If you have the opportunity attend a Waitangi Day commemoration at Waitangi, do so. You will get a new perspective on what it is all about.
A number of Church leaders who have been involved with the services for many years commented that there was a positive shift in the spiritual tone at Waitangi this year.
When the Archbishops, Bishops, and the one and only Moderator (What's a Moderator?) were disrobing in the wharenui after the Ecumenical Service, the comment was made how great it was to be together believing in the Trinity, the death and resurrection of Christ and the power of the Holy Spirit, and standing together as Christians together in front of the nation. The Moderator, the only one there from a Reformed perspective, did agree.
A conversation with a kaumatua, who incidentally was associated with the Māori evangelist Mauri Thompson in the 1970s, summed up his perspective on the Treaty and all the politicking that is going on at the moment about it. "The Treaty is stuck" he said. "Until people return to its Christian spiritual intent and roots and live in a climate of peace and reconciliation in Jesus, it's stuck".
I was left wondering if politicians representing the Crown from all sides who go to Waitangi with votes on their mind in an election year are going to be peacemakers seeking reconciliation.
Listening in to a couple of workshops the day before on Te Tii Marae it was evident, to me at least, there is a long way to go before Te Tiriti o Waitangi becomes a unifying treaty of nationhood.
From the questions I have been asked about my Waitangi experience by members of our Church up and down the country, when they are from “Pakeha in the pews", I think we are stuck in coming to terms with the Treaty overall. God grant Christian churches divine wisdom in the years ahead.
Te Rongopai a Hoani 17:21-22
20 Ehara taku i te inoi mo enei anake, engari mo te hunga e meinga e ta ratou kupu kia whakapono ki ahau: 21 Kia kotahi ai ratou katoa; me koe hoki, e pa, i roto i ahau, me ahau ano i roto i a koe, kia kotahi ai hoki ratou i roto i a taua: kia whakapono ai te ao, nau ahau i tono mai. 22 Kua hoatu ano e ahau ki a ratou te kororia i homai e koe ki ahau; kia kotahi ai ratou, me taua nei hoki he kotahi

Kia ora koutou
By the time this is published, I will have been in this space of transition for about a month. This column feels like a good place to share some reflections from this time.
Starting a new role is scary. Even when you feel called and that call has been affirmed by the Church, entering Orbit House in Wellington on 2 February, going up the lift to the 4th floor (I had to Google where the office was), and waiting to be let in — feelings of terror tried to persuade me to run. Instead, I stepped into this new space and smiled.
I was greeted with warmth and welcome by the staff at our national office. Putting faces to names that, in the past, had simply been names at the bottom of emails reminded me of the warmth of Christmas greetings or Facebook posts from people I am fond of — part of the family — but do not yet really know.
That feeling of starting something new — whether big or small — is something I would recommend. It reminds me that we are people on the move, looking for signs of God’s presence and for fellow travellers who are also seeking God.
On 12 February, Southern Presbytery hosted my induction service in Balclutha (my home church). I was surrounded by family, friends, people I worship with weekly, elders and ministers from around the southern region who I have assisted over the past 10 years, and national leaders who all travelled to attend the service.
My reflection is how important these occasions are — when we come together and rest in the words of installation; when the narrative reminds us how we got here; when worship gathers the many layers of the Church together; and when, on this occasion, an offering was taken to pass on to the community of Te Araroa — an affirmation that we are called to care for those beyond ourselves.
The induction service was a reminder that we are a national Church — that we are family.
During this month, as Wayne has tirelessly connected me with lawyers, ministers, and groups from here, there, and everywhere; as I have joined Zoom meetings with RSC, CLT, the EOs, PRC, and many others; as I have received emails from the Interchurch Bioethics Council, CWM, WCC, and others — I am reminded of the many people serving and gathering around their gifts, talents, and passions. I am encouraged that for anyone in our congregations who has an interest, a particular skill, or a deep passion, there is a place for them — alongside like-minded people — to serve in meaningful ways.
My reflection is this: sometimes I can think the institution is the issue. And yes, it has its challenges. Yet the institution is a myriad of people who care deeply about God and their communities. People who volunteer, and some who are paid, encouraging one another and seeking to keep Jesus as central to who we are. I am reminded that at our Presbyterian core is the conviction that everyone is involved — the “priesthood of all believers”.
I look forward to getting to know those in our Church family whom I have not yet met, and to serving alongside you as we continue to discern where God is leading us next.
Staff changes
In late February we accepted the resignation of the Rev Stephanie Wells as director of the Presbyterian Church Schools Resource Office. Her last day will be 24 March; there will be a lunch of celebration for all she has contributed to the PCANZ team. We thank Stephanie for her tireless work strengthening the relationship between the PCANZ and Presbyterian schools. Her involvement in conjunction with PYM instigating Rangatahi Noho Marae has further enhanced our relationship. We wish Stephanie every blessing as she retires in order to focus on her health.

Update your office bearer contacts
We use electronic communication to share information, update on important matters, and pass on other news. The ability of our Office to do this is dependent on church councils advising updates of key contact people, changes in email etc. As we get into the new year, please pass on any changes email Nani so that we can ensure we are communicating with the appropriate people.

Myanmar
In February we sent funds to the Presbyterian Church in Myanmar to provide support as they offer ministry in the midst of an ongoing civil war. An informative December situation update from their General Secretary Rev Pek Muan Cuang can be read here. The recent elections which overwhelmingly returned the Myanmar military to power have been labelled a sham by the United Nations, Western governments, and most ASEAN nations who have largely rejected the results, claiming they were designed to legitimise the 2021 coup.
Vanuatu
Last month we advertised the English teaching role at Talua Theological College in Vanuatu. It looks like this position has now been filled, so that is good news. Depending on the receipt of a work visa, Brianna Snowdon from Australia will begin teaching in April. Brianna is returning after previously filling the role in 2023. Global Mission will fund this role throughout the year.
A lot of activity is in the preparatory stages as we look ahead to the remainder of the year. Saint Kentigern Schools and College will be taking teams on service programmes with Vanuatu schools in July and September; we are planning to lead a chaplains training programme in August; and several congregations and individuals have expressed interest in exploring options for projects in Vanuatu. This includes some congregations exploring pastoral ministry for seasonal workers, an area which has potential for development in those regions that host RSE workers.
CWM
The PCANZ will be hosting A New Face programme in Auckland and Ohope in May. This is a Council for World Mission event for ministry leaders from CWM-member churches around the world. This programme will focus on children’s ministry, and we will be looking for Auckland churches to help with hospitality and programme input during this time.

Greetings everyone
This morning, while scrolling through social media, I stumbled on a post from a page I follow that satirizes parish life in a fictional British church. This particular post was about children making noise in church, and it ended with this reflection: “But perhaps—just perhaps—the Kingdom of God is not always advanced by quietness and order. Perhaps sometimes it arrives with a bang…. upends the (toy) basket, and reminds a room full of respectable adults that holiness is not the same as tidiness”.
This struck a chord with me, and as I ponder this idea, I wonder how often do we prioritise ‘tidiness’ over ‘holiness’? It’s a question to sit with, reflect on, and maybe even be challenged by as we think about our own faith communities. Where can we encourage some metaphorical untidiness, in order to see some real holiness at work? (If you wish, read the full post here.)
Recently, I had the privilege of attending the Southern Presbytery Children’s Ministry training day, held in conjunction with Scripture Union. It was a fantastic day of connecting with people and learning together. If you have a children’s ministry team, I’d highly recommend they attend this quality training!
Upcoming Events: Safety WOF
There is still time to register for the Safety WOF training being held online throughout March.

Summer Internship Report
In December we had the pleasure of hosting a history intern from Te Herenga Waka Victoria University. Jin Xu’s work focused on a collection of missionary posters which had belonged to Rev Herbert Davies of the Canton Villages Mission, the New Zealand Presbyterian Church’s mission in China.
She photographed and described the posters, placing the information onto our Recollect website. Following this she did further research on the posters, providing a fascinating description of the printing processes involved in creating them, as well as exploring the story of Rev Herbert Davies and his wife, Margaret, who spent over 30 years in China - including internment by the Japanese during World War 2. We hope to have Jin Xu’s blog available on our Recollect website soon.
Thorium Reader
EBSCO is the main supplier of ebooks for Hewitson Library. On 14 April they will be converting from Adobe Reader to Thorium Reader, as their supported platform for ebook reading. This is because Thorium has rigorously designed their ebook reader to meet the standards of new accessibility laws in Australia and the US. For example, those with visual impairments will find features on Thorium that make it better to use than Adobe.
Functionally, this shouldn’t change how you access and use ebooks from Hewitson Library. With the exception that you will want to do a one-time download of Thorium onto your computer or laptop, to have that there so you can read your ebook downloads. It’s free and easy to download, via this link. For more information on Thorium, please see here, and for frequently asked questions, see here.
Please note that Thorium works on all computer platforms (i.e. Windows, Mac, Linux). There is currently not a Thorium application for mobile phones, but that is in development and will be announced when released.
Mark your Calendars
Rachel Tombs will give a talk about her work on the Deaconess Collection at Presbyterian Archives, at 5:30 pm Thursday 21 May in the KCML Seminar Room at Knox College in Dunedin.
The Deaconess Collection is world-renowned and has been designated as a UNESCO Memory of the World collection. For more information, click here.

Reading Group
Join a group of peers engaging with Dr Christa McKirland’s important book, A Theology of Authority: Rethinking Leadership in the Church.
Is authority reserved for those with a specific calling to leadership? Who holds power in the church?
A Theology of Authority expands our understanding of authority, recognizing the Spirit's enablement of each member to fulfil their calling to spiritual maturity.
Who is this for? Anyone in the PCANZ
- This will run for about six weeks (we’ll negotiate options around the beginning of Easter).
- Please be prepared to commit to the whole time so that the group can benefit from this continuity.
Christa is currently dean of faculty and lecturer in systematic theology at Carey Baptist College.
A book grant of 50% off the book price is available (please purchase from competitive price-points e.g. Amazon.au or Blackwells), or $50, whichever is least.
Please respond to Andrew Nicol to register your interest.

Goodbye, classic kiwi summer
This year, most of us feel robbed of summer. For many, this has simply meant less days at the beach. But for others, this summer has brought hardship, tragedy, and even the loss of loved ones.
Up and down the country, it has been “a parade of weather disasters”. From a recent story in The Spinoff, “the catastrophes have been both random and regular.” Tornadoes in Manawatū, landslides in Bay of Plenty, flooding in Warkworth and Banks Peninsula.
As the reality of climate change sets in, these extreme weather events will become more frequent and intense. We will oscillate between long, dry, summers bringing drought and life-threatening heat, and summers like the one we just had: wet, wild, and windy. The “classic kiwi summer” will become a myth.
When the Emissions Reduction Workgroup was formed by the General Assembly in 2022, we were tasked with focussing on climate change mitigation - helping churches to reduce their impact on the environment. That is still the focus. Mitigation continues to be vitally important. Two degrees of warming is vastly different from 3 degrees. We are all responsible to do what we can.
However, we also need to consider climate change adaptation: supporting one another to adapt to the realities of an increasingly volatile climate.
Often adaptaion and mitigation go hand-in-hand. For instance, St Heliers Presbyterian Church in Auckland recently installed solar panels and battery power. Alongside reducing the church’s carbon footprint, the solar also increases its resilience in the event of civil emergency. St Heliers is now a ‘Community Emergency Hub’.
If you don’t know where to begin with climate adaptation, the Interchurch Bioethics Council NZ released this excellent document last year. You may like to go through it with your church council or board of managers.

Convenor of the General Assembly Emissions Reductions Workgroup
PressGo
Changes after General Assembly
The PressGo Board has been busy following up on and implementing the changes and recommendation made at GA25 with respect to PressGo. The big decision was to close the Mission Enterprise Fund and redistribute the funds to the presbyteries. We have been working with CPT to action this, ensuring that commitments already made from the MEF can still be honoured. We are also working with the COA on changes to the PressGo TOR that reflect the new environment for PressGo.
Another outcome of the reviews of PressGo and the MEF has been increased communication and collaboration with presbyteries. In late February, the PressGo Board met with presbytery mission enablers to explore ways we can work better together. The Board also has a plan to speak at presbytery gatherings during the course of this year, seeking to explain the ongoing work of PressGo.
While the MEF has been closed, the Presbyterian Foundation is still operating. It presently has a capital fund of 3.6 million and there is 379K available for distribution. Churches and presbyteries can apply for grants of up to $10,000 or for smaller $500 Give-it-a-Go grants. Information on criteria and application forms are available from the PCANZ website here.
