Te Pīhopatanga o Aotearoa
Te Pīhopatanga o Aotearoa is the Māori stream of The Anglican Church in Aotearoa, New Zealand and Polynesia. Acknowledging the principle of partnership under Te Tiriti o Waitangi, Te Pīhopatanga o Aotearoa has responsibility for provision of ministry to those who wish to be ministered to within tikanga Māori, and for the promotion of mission within that Tikanga.

This is the representative body for Tikanga Māori within the Church. It may within the limits and scope of its responsibilities, exercise all such powers and make all such Regulations, not inconsistent with this Constitution or with any Canon or Regulation of the General Synod / te Hīnota Whānui, as may be necessary for the order and good government of the Church in te Pihopatanga o Aotearoa. It is comprised of the three houses – lay, clergy and Bishops.
