Collect: Te Kaupapa Tikanga Toru
We are committed to a Three Tikanga relationship that is centred on the Lord’s Table and planted in the whenua of the South Pacific.
We cannot presume to come to this Holy Table trusting in our own righteousness, but in our need for God and each other.
From the baskets of our tikanga journeys, we offer all that we have and are, and all that we shall become.
Most merciful Lord, Your love compels us to come to the table of unity, regardless of our differences. We bring our unique identities, serving with mo’oni, asha, tamata dina, loto onosa’i, humility, and aroha. May we all be sanctified through your grace and remain united until eternity.
Amen.
