Provincial Connections

The central website for the Anglican Church in Aotearoa New Zealand and Polynesia. Here you'll find the latest news across our national and international Church, and also contact details for our archbishops and General Synod Office personnel.

This is the central co-ordinating body for our Three Tikanga youth. Jax, who is the Commissioner, works with young people across Aotearoa New Zealand and Polynesia to equip them in mission and ministry, and to organise gatherings where they can support each other and have a lot of fun in the process. She's a great source of resources on our Three Tikanga church.

Children and Families ministry for Tikanga Pakeha

From 2019 the Royal Commission into Abuse in Care will be looking into what happened to children, young people and vulnerable adults while in state or faith-based care. The Anglican Church was instrumental in getting the Commission to extend its scope to cover faith-based institutions, because we believe that if abuse has occurred there it needs to be brought to light. We are therefore doing all we can to support the process in the hope that some healing can come to those whose trust, mind or body were abused. Contact details for those wishing to make a submission are available on the website. Draft recommendations for protocols and procedures can be provided on request by the Anglican Schools' Office.

Theological college for the Province, based in Auckland.

Bishopdale is an Anglican theological college based in the Diocese of Nelson. They offer internships for young adults. An internship is "like an apprenticeship in Christian ministry. Mentored internships fit well with the way that Jesus grew His disciples - learning skills, watching and practising, being encouraged and corrected, and growing into a whole new realm of service. Bishopdale internships, which take place in partnership with Laidlaw College, provide an excellent and rewarding way to explore ministry further, gain experience and training, all within an NZQA accredited framework."
