As Te Raranga portrays, we seek to weave together the distinctives and strengths of both Maori and Pakeha, listening to and learning from our story as the nation of Aotearoa, honouring Tangata Whenua; welcoming all nations and cultures; moving forward together as the diverse yet united church across the city.
The bicultural strand draws strength from matua George Ehau and Peter Hira, and tangata tiriti Donald Scott.
