Kia ora whanau
I have been super busy learning new things in te reo this week. How are you going? I figured today I will add in a whakatauki, this was the only one I could think of. It can be used in ways other than kai.
Nau te rourou, naku te rourou, ka ora ai te iwi.
With your basket, and my basket, the people shall thrive.
I also thought you could add some labels around your wharekai to aid you in your learning.
Microwave - Ngaru iti
Fridge - Pouaka makariri
Kettle/Jug - Tiikera
Oven - Umu
Stove - To

YOUTH VOICE MAKING A DIFFERENCE!
May 14, 2010 | Leave a Comment
The youth voice continues to be vocal throughout this General Synod speaking to issues of Social Justice, Caring for God’s Creation, Alcohol issue, Millenium Development Goals - in particular Poverty, and other issues of concern. I’m pretty proud also that we continue to make a difference in our own Tikanga caucuses also! We continue to give thanks to the Lord for all He has in store for us all!
Blessings! Sepi Hala’api’api - Tikanga Polynesia delegate
Bible Study: Thurs 13 May 2010
May 13, 2010 | 1 Comment
Reading: Luke 24:44-53
He said to the, “This is what I told you while I was still with you: Everything must be fulfilled that is written about me in the Law of Moses, the Prophets and the Psalms.” Then he opened their minds so they could understand the Scriptures. He told them, “This is what is written: The Christ will suffer and rise from the dead on the third day, and repentance and forgiveness of sins will be preached in his name to all nations, beginning at Jerusalem. You are witnesses of these things. I am going to send you what my Father has promised; but stay in the city until you have been clothed with power from on high.” When he had led them out to the vicinity of Bethany, he lifted up his hands and blessed them. While he was blessing them, he left them and was taken up into heaven. Then they worshiped him and returned to Jerusalem with great joy. And they stayed continually at the temple, praising God.
Questions for you to reflect on:
1. How often do you read the Bible.
2. Share your favourite scripture that has inspired you in faith.
3. In what ways could General Synod/Te Hinota Whanui further inspire the Anglican Church to share the story if the risen and ascended Christ with the world.
Please leave a comment with your response.
General Synod
May 13, 2010 | Leave a Comment
General synod is about the three Tikanga coming together as one, there’s a lot of Decisions, Debates, Issues, that they sort out to try and make our church’s stronger.My reflection on this Korero is based on learning new information that connects to all our church’s and our three Tikanga religions, Tikanga Maori, Tikanga Pakeha, Tikanga Polynesians, And getting to learn about there religions is the most important thing to do at this General Synod. Working together as one and helping one another is awesome communication.
Learning more about our church’s is a great experience and also an opportunity to get to no your own Tikanga, Me being a steward here i have the options to get to no everyone and express everything i no from our ministry and teaching others as well. But just being here at General Synod is awesome and loving it working with new people is great and this i would never change a thing.
The Anglican Church “One Big Happy Family?”
May 13, 2010 | Leave a Comment
“We are one big happy family, gods family, Gods family. We are one big happy family Gods family are we. She is my sister he is my brother our father in heaven he loves you and me”
These words of which the general synod sang last night “one big happy family” some what charismatically at night prayer reflected the mood of this synod thus far, Tho im not trying to say that the proceeding haven’t brought up disagreement and division not to mention the countless calls for caucus and the hours spent in caucus. There has clearly been tension on the floor of this synod, After all some of what we had deal with has been easy but at the heart of all our work here as the body of Christ is that this work that we are doing is Gods work. Like a family we have our problems we have our disagreements in some ways we are dis-functional but our three Tikanga church, like a family we love each other. As a family of Christ followers we are obliged by the Gospel to love each other as Christ first loved us, at least we have got that going for us.

We are having afternoon tea now and so far we are still discussing the St. John report. The Arch Bishop of Polynesia was annoucned today (Bishop Winston Halapua). It was met with much support from both Tikanga Maori and Pakeha which I think is very good. Tikanga Pasefika did a traditional presention by the women and an acknowledgement from the men traditional style aswel which makes me very proud to be a polynesian. For me this was the highligh of my day witnessing the unity and the support of the other two tikangas. Still alot to get through today and one of the big issues is the St. Johns report hopefully we will come to a conclusion and not spend too much time on this because im really tired and sleepy from a late night lastnight. But Im getting better and better at using that photocopy machine and i just found out it can do stapling also which is very interesting. Its going well and we still have a few more ours to go and as a stewart still have alot to learn.
