He Pānui: Te Tai Tokerau and Te Rūnanganui 2025
Tēnā koutou,
Te Hui Amorangi o Te Tai Tokerau has decided that we will not be attending Te Rūnanganui o Te Pīhopatanga o Aotearoa this year. This decision follows careful consideration by our Komiti Tumuaki and is grounded in our responsibility to uphold the wellbeing of our Bishop, our clergy, and our lay representatives.
We also want to acknowledge our Bishop. He continues to have our pastoral and relational support, and we are committed to ensuring that he, and all involved, are given the space needed while an official Church process runs its proper course.
This is a temporary and protective decision. It is not a withdrawal from Te Pīhopatanga o Aotearoa, and we remain committed to Tikanga Māori and to the unity, ministry and mission of our Church.
We look forward to re-engaging with Te Rūnanganui once the process concludes and the environment is right for all Amorangi to participate fully.
Ngā manaakitanga,
Te Komiti Tumuaki o Te Hui Amorangi ki Te Tai Tokerau
