Does Waitangi Day matter? I Jonathan Dove

Unity is the heart and the hope of the gospel. Jesus prayed “may they be one….Father, just as we are one.” The Treaty of Waitangi and Te Tiriti o Waitangi was intended to bring two peoples together in genuine partnership. A day of celebration, but also hurts from what happened in our history. What can bring people together and heal relational divides? What is God saying to followers of Jesus in Aotearoa NZ? What would it mean for us to say “He iwi kotahi tatou”, meaning “Now we are one”?
