To Jenny and the whanau of the Late Sir Ian Turbott Kt, AO, CMG, CVO, CStJ, Hon.D. List (UWS) our deepest condolences.
We were so privileged to have Sir Ian as a friend of the Church, his presence at our ANZAC Services was inspirational as he encompassed the essence of our New Zealand Veterans living in Australia, the ANZAC Spirit and the nobility of a New Zealand Service person.

Tena koutou katoa,

I am writing to express our deepest gratitude for your financial donations to our church throughout the 2015-2016 year. Generous tithing and gifts from donors (individually and organisationally) like you provide the financial and moral support needed to continue our mission.

With your faithful financial contributions over the years, you’ve demonstrated your deep commitment to our ministry and the work we do within the Maori community of Sydney.

Your support has repeatedly played a key role in us being able to help our people during times of the loss of loved ones, bringing couples together in marriage, performing baptisms, confirmations and being able to have church Wananga. It also enables us to utilize and maintain our church, Te Wairua Tapu, in Redfern.

There is no way to fully express my gratitude for your loyalty. We at the Maori Anglican Fellowship are continually inspired by the dedication and generosity of donors like yourselves who answer the call to give again and again.

Once again, thank you! May God bless you all, no matter where you are located around the world.

Arohanui
The Venerable Kaio Karipa
Chaplain
The Sydney Maori Anglican Fellowship
Church of Te Wairua Tapu

A Time for Everything!
I know that there is nothing better for people than to be happy and to do good while they live. That each of them may eat and drink, and find satisfaction in all their toil—this is the gift of God.
Eccl 3:12-13

HIKOI 501

Erina Morunga, Filipa Payne, Kiri Barber, Roger Reeves and Butch Barber drove around Australia (17,000 + kms) to raise awareness and education about the Section 501 of the Australian Migration Act that impacts on our people residing in Australia. This is an important kaupapa and the New Zealand Labour MP Kelvin Davis was present at the Sydney Launch.

Today Kiri & Butch Barber share their experiences,their stories and the generosity of those they met on their travels. The passion of Erina, Filpa and Roger and the injustices.

Visiting Clergy

Rev Canon Robert Kereopa, Executive Officer of the Anglican Mission Board in New Zealand, visited with us at Te Wairua Tapu. Especially significant was the work the Anglican Mission Board is doing in Fiji after the devastation of Cyclone Winston.
