Over six weeks, St Tom’s Anglican Church in Newtown became a place of thoughtful conversation, learning and reflection as more than 60 people gathered across two weekly groups to take part in Thriving in this Land, a workshop series developed by Common Grace Aotearoa.
There was a strong sense of hope, unity and gratitude among Wellington Diocese representatives returning from General Synod in Tonga, where Anglicans from across Aotearoa, New Zealand and Polynesia gathered for a week that many described as both historic and deeply moving.
Our theme for this General Synod / Te Hīnota Whānui is “One Mission, One Ocean, One Vaka.”
This Synod, we take the next step on that journey. Hope, if it is real, must set sail. It must leave the shore. The vaka is hope made seaworthy.
