From the Moderator
Rugged up in a Kathmandu goose-down jacket, with a merino woollen scarf around my neck, warm gloves and a hat I wandered the Christmas markets in Cologne, Germany as I experienced my first Northern hemisphere Christmas. It seemed so far removed from the beaches and barbeques of New Zealand where I would have been wearing shorts, T-shirt and jandals. Maybe it was because it was so cold and dark that the Christmas lights and decorations seemed to take on greater significance. In New Zealand they almost seem irrelevant.
Traditional Christmas carols were being played, children were enjoying merry-go-rounds, families were ice-skating, choirs were singing, nativity scenes made out of chocolate, wood and various other materials spoke of the reason for the season. The stalls were doing great business – especially the many food and the mulled wine stalls – and thousands of people were simply enjoying the celebration of the birth of Jesus. The joy of the occasion was tangible.
At the end of January I represented the Presbyterian Church with Wayne Te Kaawa and Te Aka Puaho, at the birthday celebrations of one of the country’s greatest missionaries Tahupotiki Wiremu Ratana. The Ratana celebrations went on for a week, and I was there for two of those days.
While the TV portrayal of this event focuses on the visit of politicians, political parties and other dignitaries, what I saw among the people was a festive celebration of something much more important to them. There was a real joy in coming together from all corners of New Zealand – and other parts of the globe – in a wonderful sense of unity. The brass bands played, the rock bands on the stage made sure we heard them, plenty of food was eaten and the happy conversation between people never ceased.
In all of this amazing celebration a warm and wonderful hospitality embraced every person who stepped onto the marae. Each person knew they were welcome and special. They were celebrating and honouring their founder T W Ratana – one of our country’s first charismatic Christians who moved in the prophetic and healing ministries following his encounter with the Holy Spirit while sitting on his front porch. But, it seemed to me, they were also celebrating their love of Jesus, the Christian faith, and things taha Maori. At one point in the proceedings Moderator Wayne leaned over to me and said, “Do you think that we of the Presbyterian Church could celebrate like this?”
The Church may like to know that Moderator Wayne was invited to give the kauhau (sermon) at the celebration church service – the culmination of the week’s festivities. This is the first time a non-Ratana minister has been invited to give the kauhau.
Throughout my term as moderator I have been invited to attend some church centennial and sesquicentennial celebrations. As in Cologne and at Ratana the joy and happiness of the people celebrating fills the atmosphere at these events.
Celebrating is an important part of being human, and we in the Christian faith have more reason than most to celebrate when we think of all that has been done for us by Jesus at the Cross, the hope that comes through the resurrection and the ever-present empowerment of the Holy Spirit.
This year for the first time we of the Presbyterian Church are having an Assembly Week. One part of the Assembly Week will be what we have known as General Assembly – but there will be much more! More time for inspiration and celebration. In response to Wayne Te Kaawa’s question, “Can we Presbyterians celebrate like this?” my answer is, “Yes, we can!” I encourage all who can to come to this Presbyterian celebration. Make it one of the key events for 2014. It begins with a ministers’ resourcing day on Friday 3 October and finishes in the afternoon of Tuesday 7 October. It is my prayer that we will celebrate with the same joy and unity that I saw of people in Cologne and at Ratana. I can assure you that you will be inspired as we celebrate our faith, the bicentenary of the gospel in this nation and of being Presbyterian together.
God bless you

Dear Friends and Colleagues
Our home on Great Barrier Island is such a blessing for us. Over the Christmas holidays, we have time to eat and drink with family, friends and neighbours. We have a very large dining table which can seat 14 or 15 people and one night as I said grace before we shared dinner with a good number of people, I realised that we had a reasonable representation of the world’s religious streams at the table: our Jewish, Muslim and Hindu friends (and a few people we really did not know) gathered with a smattering of Christians, agnostics and the totally undecided. Believing in God’s sovereignty, I celebrate the wonder of God’s presence in and for the world in all places, people and time. I am happy to talk to anyone about Jesus but I also realise that I need to also do some listening. Eating and drinking with others is the best time I know of to do this.
I wonder if our future as a Church is to be found such simple things – friends, neighbours and strangers gathered together to share food and the words that speak about the most important things. In the midst of the challenges and changes we will face over this coming year it seems to me important to come back to commit again to these times spent around a table that were so precious to Jesus in the stories we hear in the Gospels.
Voting for the Moderator-elect, 2016: Stage 1 – deadline Friday 7 February 2014
As the first stage in the election process, all presbyteries, the Pacific Islands Synod and Te Aka Puaho are asked to nominate one person each to enter the voting process coordinated by the Nominating Committee.

The Council for World Mission (CWM) is offering a range of opportunities for 2014.
Face the Facts provides a one-month emersion experience in the Philippines in September for a person from our Church to engage with our Biblical teachings on justice. The programme will look at issues ranging from the impact of global neo liberal economic policies, human trafficking and deforestation. All expenses are covered.
CWM is also offering sponsored post-graduate theological study opportunities in seminaries in Taiwan and the Netherlands. (Study will be in English.)

The conference is scheduled for July in Kuala Lumper and all expenses would be paid. If you, or a person in your congregation who has a ministry which includes advocacy for people with disabilities, consider applying to attend the conference.
If you are interested in applying for any of these opportunities, please contact me and I will send you the details.
Prescare
PresCare – the joint initiative between us and Presbyterian Support – invites congregations to focus on our shared concern for the wellbeing of children and families with the Lent Reflections resource. The resource was mailed to parishes at the end of last year, and more copies can be requested from Assembly Office (email Sandra@presbyterian.org.nz), or simply download the Lent Reflections booklet from our website.
Through Prescare, parishes and Presbyterian Support are being invited to join together in outreach to participate in this year’s Neighbours Day (29-30 March). Thanks to a grant from the Presbyterian Foundation, financial support is available for outreach where parishes are working with Presbyterian Support. More information will be available on our website shortly about how to get involved.
World Council of Churches – consultative bodies
The World Council of Churches support a range of commissions to act as consultative bodies on all aspects of its work and mission: youth, education, mission, life and order justice etc. The WCC is currently seeking nominations from member churches to participate on one or other of these commissions. If you are interested in the work of the WCC and would like more details then please contact me.
Invitation to attend the Church of Scotland 2014 General Assembly
Each year the Church of Scotland graciously extends an invitation to our Church to send a representative. While neither we nor the Church of Scotland can make any contribution to travel or accommodation costs, if you as a minister or elder in our Church happened to be planning a trip to the UK and would like to represent us at this event, then please let me know.
The Church of Scotland 2014 General Assembly is held from 18-24 May 2014.
Deadline for reports, proposals and recommendations to be considered by General Assembly
After consultation with presbyteries and the Assembly Business Work Group, a deadline has been set for receiving all reports and proposals that will be considered by General Assembly. All material must be received by 31 March 2014.
This timeframe will enable us to facilitate a consultative process with presbyteries prior to Assembly Week. In this way, we will be able to fulfil the 2012 Assembly’s decision supporting presbyteries’ participation in the setting of the Assembly agenda.
Feedback from discussions
We have distributed to all presbyteries and church councils our second round of discussion documents seeking responses in preparation for the 2014 General Assembly. Please send your responses to our office by 31 March 2014.
Use of buildings and the Human Rights Act
Please find here the Human Rights Commission response to a letter from our Church requesting further information on the use of church buildings. If you have further queries about their response, please write to them directly and send a copy of your letter and their response to me.
Risk management, ethics and leadership workshops
To retain a status of good standing, it is a requirement that every minister must attend one of these workshops once every three years. These workshops are provided on an “as needed” basis (usually for a minimum of ten people). If you are due to attend a workshop, please contact your presbytery clerk.
Church Growth
One of the most comprehensive studies on church growth has recently been completed by the Church of England. Not all of it is relevant to our context but I have found that it provides some very helpful, research-based conclusions. Read the research
Calling all song writers, poets and writers of prayers!
Submissions are invited for a resource of prayers for this year’s Assembly Week gathering.
Themes to be covered: collects, blessings, cries for help, truth telling, wonder, illumination, gratitude and sent.

Presbyterian Youth
Happy New Year from PYM and God bless your ministry with young people in 2014. At the present time I am in Tongariro national park with at our Going Further Discipleship camp. It has been an awesome week of teaching from Tim Keel, Darryl Tempero and Carolyn Kelly. We have young adults 17-29 from every corner of the country attend this camp, and it has been great as always to work in collaboration with KCML on this project.
At this time of year we set our plan for the year, and so I have some important dates for you to put into your calendar now.
Connect, 11-13 July
If you have a ministry to young people, whether that is through paid staff or exclusively through volunteer youth workers, we’d love to see at least one representative from your church at our national youth ministry training conference, but you’re welcome to send your whole youth ministry team. Last year we had 240 youth workers at the conference and we hope to have another great turnout this year. Connect 2014 will be held at St.Andrew’s College Christchurch. Learn more about Connect
Going Global, 2-11 July
With our last trip just back from Myanmar, we are excited to announce our next mission trip to Vanuatu is set for July. Learn more about Going Global
Going Deeper
Wellington and Southern Presbytery are doing a Going Deeper training in the first part of the year, and I encourage churches in those presbyteries to send their whole youth ministry team. Learn more about Going Deeper
Assembly Week 2014 Youth, 3-7 Oct
As always we will be hoping to have a good number of youth delegates at Assembly. In addition, this year PYM will be running a youth stream. Youth groups will be invited to attend. We are planning something special, and information will be coming soon.
Thought for the month
In this and upcoming Bush Telegraph articles, I am going to write a simple sustainable practice churches should be following as they promote best practice of youth ministry management.
Sustainable practice 1 of 7
We will pray and spiritually support:
- We believe that our youth workers need spiritual support in their work with young people.
- We promise to pray for our youth workers and make sure their spiritual lives are getting the support they need.

Global Mission
People on the move
The first day back at work this year saw me at a conference in Auckland run by the Christian Conference of Asia (CCA), entitled “People on the Move”. This was jointly hosted by the CCA, ourselves and the Methodist Church of New Zealand.
Speakers and participants from several Asian and Pacific countries explored the phenomenon of modern-day migration and its impact on our respective countries. Topics discussed included justice for migrant workers; refugees and asylum seekers; missiological challenges for the Church; and pastoral care for migrants. We heard some challenging messages, including the problem of the exploitation of migrant workers here in New Zealand. The Revs Kyoung Gyun Han and Paul Prestidge represented the Presbyterian Church alongside me. These issues will continue to provide significant missional opportunities for our churches, particularly in our larger cities where migrants tend to settle.
Going Global mission trips
In December we completed a successful Going Global mission trip to Myanmar. A team of six young adults and three leaders from the Presbyterian Church were hosted by the Presbyterian Church of Myanmar (PCM), meeting PCM members and visiting projects supported by our Ricebowl Mission. The main focus of this trip was to take part in the PCM’s Tahan Theological College (TTC) Christmas Fun Fete, which was an amazing experience. The team members all made significant contributions to the success of the programme, and learnt a lot about the challenges and joys of the church’s mission in Myanmar. You can read more about the Ricebowl mission here, and about our trip on my blog. Preparations for Going Global 2014 are well under way with a visit to Vanuatu planned for July. This is for young adults aged 18-30. This will build on the success of two previous Going Global trips to Lenakal High school on Tanna Island. An application pack can be viewed here.
Focus for 2014
A focus for this year will be our partnership with the Presbyterian Church of Vanuatu (PCV) and in particular, increasing pastoral support for the many seasonal workers who come from Vanuatu each year to work on orchards and vineyards. I am aiming to set up a Vanuatu Support Group, bringing together members in our churches who have strong links with Vanuatu. The aim of this is to strengthen and grow the important mission partnership we share with the PCV, in a country where there are still significant developmental challenges. A first meeting is scheduled for March, in Blenheim.
Thank you to everyone who continues to support the work of Global Mission so generously. Remember that I am available to come to your church and share about our Global Mission. You can email me at phil@presbyterian.org.nz

Kids Friendly
Kids Friendly plans
One way I try to ease my way back into work after a long summer break is to create a Kids Friendly calendar to assist churches plan their children’s ministry. It’s a detailed job of cross-checking lectionary and secular calendars to ensure that we have all the pertinent festivals, holidays and other useful information listed. If you didn’t receive it via email, download the calendar from our website. Check out our latest Kids Friendly e-news too. It’s full of resources and ideas to kick start your children’s ministry year.
Cheryl (Kids Friendly Advisor for Southland and Otago) and I have just spent a few days together planning our Kids Friendly year, and next month eight Kids Friendly champions from around the country meet for two days at our “Kids Friendly Advance”, a time of strategising for the year ahead.
Dunedin’s “Transformers – Raising Up Young Leaders” camp is from 14-16 February. The camp will be led by local and Taranaki leaders. The last South Island Transformers camp was in 2010, so we are pleased to be offering this opportunity to Southern churches again. If your church is interested in participating in a Transformers camp and committing to a programme of mentoring young people please contact us. Learn more about Transformers
Some exciting news is that we have been contacted by Lucy Moore, the creator of the Messy Church movement, to ask if they can pilot our Transformers’ leadership development and mentoring programme in some Messy Churches in the UK.
It’s been heartening to hear that there are still churches out there wanting to become Kids Friendly.
The Kids Friendly self-review process and resource helps churches reflect on their children’s ministry practises and set goals to be more “Kids Friendly”. It’s our denomination’s “best practise standard” for children’s ministry that’s been evolved over 10 years. If you’re committed to ministering with children and families, we encourage you to do the self-review so we can list you as a “Kids Friendly” church on our website.
