Keith says \u2018both Maori and missionary were betrayed\u2019 after the signing of the Treaty of Waitangi. I love the key metaphor Keith uses for his book, that we go \u2018backwards into the future\u2019. As we listen to the story \u2013 both the pain and the obvious impact of the gospel \u2013 we learn from the past, hopefully carrying us into the future as we seek to express in fresh ways God\u2019s intent for this wonderful city and nation.<br>The\u00a0<a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"http:\/\/newwine.org.nz\/event\/kiwi-christianity\/\" target=\"_blank\">hui<\/a>\u00a0at Northcity Church Oct 18th and 19th is a gathering of a diverse group of leaders including Keith and local Maori church ministers, seeking to understand the great call on our nation for \u201ctwo peoples to become one\u201d. In listening to the story we want to foster an environment where we can share deeply and honestly about our history and our future together.\u00a0 Because of this, the hui will include a forum question and answer time \u2013 where we have the chance to wrestle through these questions together from a variety of perspectives and worldviews.\u00a0 I\u2019m excited about this continuing conversation, both at the hui next weekend and on an ongoing basis as Te Raranga simply becomes the vehicle to facilitate the conversation and embodiment of Wairua Tapu\u2019s (Holy Spirit\u2019s) working amongst us.<br>Arohanui<br>Donald Scott <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>An amazing week in the beautiful city of Christchurch, 25 degrees one day, then plummeting to 8 degrees shortly thereafter!
