Kitchen Table type conversation as we introduce ourselves and share news and challenges.
This will be immediately before the IRCA Oceania 2025 Fiji Face-to-Face Conference, hosted by the Methodist Church in Fiji and Rotuma from 26 to 30 May 2025. A chance for those going to hear the latest stories from around the region and for those staying home to get the latest on connecting up with the conference on-line.
Connecting together, breaking into the busyness to reduce the sense of isolation prevalent in rural church leadership.

RCA Oceania is a regional network within the International Rural Churches Association (IRCA), our purpose is to build connections across the south western Pacific area and bring a uniquely antipodean perspective to the IRCA family. Geographically diverse across the islands of Polynesia, Melanesia, Micronesia, Aotearoa New Zealand, together with the continent of Australia, we have much in common, with a love of the Moana (the sea) and with permanent and temporary migration between our lands. We understand one another particularly as rural churches, knowing our dependence of God's gifts of land and sea for life and livelihood, and sharing a common struggle in the face of international economic pressures that can put this livelihood at risk.
