A tale of two Training Days
The kaupapa of Training Day has always been a gathering of the extended whānau, whilst upskilling and learning in the areas of ministry God is calling us into. And that kaupapa was strongly held to at our recent Training Day events, despite one of them being held online due to the week-long Level 2 lockdown.

“Dancers on a razor’s edge”: Vocational Deacons’ Ordination to proceed in October
This October, our movement will gather together (hopefully!) to tautoko / support the call of God on the lives of Paul and Hannah, two of our own who are called to be ordained as vocational Deacons. Our annual Vocational Deacons’ Ordination was to occur on Ascension Sunday in May, to mark the command to God’s people to spread the Good News into all the world, but was postponed due to our national lockdown. We now look forward to being together at the Cathedral on Sunday the 11th of October.
