Conversation about the Treaty is happening all around us, and the Treaty Principles Bill will soon come up for discussion.
As Christians, we are shaped by the stories and promises of what God has done before us. God has been at work in this country forever and the Treaty has a rich Christian heritage. We can look at the story of the Treaty and how it was signed, and let that shape how we live in this land.
But do we actually know what the Treaty says? Why Māori chiefs and the Crown signed it? What happened after?
Now is a great time to refresh our understanding and plug our knowledge gaps so that we can participate meaningfully in these conversations. We are inviting you and your faith community to join us in exploring these questions, and come on an exciting journey of curiosity, learning and conversation.
Hear from expert presenters, both Māori and non-Māori, to learn
What the Treaty of Waitangi says
The context in which the Treaty was signed and the role Christians played.
What’s the story now?
We will provide videos, host guidance and discussion questions for two 90-minute sessions.
Brought to you by Common Grace Aotearoa in partnership with Karuwhā Trust and Te Manu Hononga - The Sir Paul Reeves Centre.
Express interest in hosting two sessions in your faith community today.
