9. Polynesia & The Oceanic Context An Urgent

& Radical Call to Embrace Creation. Violence against the environment The name Pacific as an identity for our region was

coined by people from Europe and is synonymous with the understanding of  scattered  small islands. The name perpetuates helplessness and a dependence mentality. 

Moana:  Ancient Word for the Ocean This world view recognises the interconnectedness of

humanity, all living species and indeed all creation including the heavens. 

An urgent and radical call. The Moana speaks in our present history through the  sea level rising as a result of climate change. 

The Diocese spans a vast  section of Oceania  - 28 million square kilometres. Home for most species. Waters with the interaction with the sun gift life to wider creation. 

The Diocese of Polynesia compelled to add prophetic voices to the voice of the Moana at this critical time. A call for just action

sacredness of the Maori concept – relationships/partnership

The Hikoi of Hope – provided the impact when the 3 Tikanga worked together – year …..

12. Partnership with Creation Honouring the Trinity

Talanoa/Indaba Methodology –Deep Listening to GOD, each other and the voices of Creation/Reconciliation with Creation

Respect for Creation means an addressing of all Violence and Abuse of power

Partnership with Creation –in Christ we move together

CONCLUDING WAVE: MA WHEA – WHERE TO FROM HERE? UTO NI YALO

This is where I stand - I share the vastness and life giving of the context Oceania- also vulnerability

This is also the context of Mission as a three Tikanga Church

“ The effects brought about by human misuse of nature are opening our eyes to who we really are. To be made in God’s image does not mean that we are gods..but rather God’s partner. Our calling is not a place of privilege but to a place of responsibility.” WCC

To honour God’s gift of creation, to walk humbly with God is to love justice and show mercy, addressing issues of violence and abuse of power
