Te Oranga Ake o Te Iwi, o Te Ao
The flourishing of all people, and of all creation
Te Pīhopatanga o Aotearoa is the Māori Anglican Church, the indigenous expression of Anglicanism in Aotearoa-New Zealand. We seek Te Oranga Ake o Te Iwi, o te Ao, the expression of God’s Kingdom through the flourishing of all people and of all creation. We seek this through flourishing mission, enabled by flourishing leadership, embedded in flourishing knowledge.
