At Taranaki Cathedral, we are a community that is committed to peace and reconciliation, taking Te Tiriti o Waitangi seriously, working through the good and bad of our history, figuring out what it looks like to be disciples of Jesus on this whenua, and playing our part in building a better Aotearoa for generations to come.
"All my strength and my voice is guidance to this
generation, that you be the empowerer
of both peoples.”
Tohu Kākahi
"For he himself is our peace, who has made the
two groups one and has destroyed the barrier,
the dividing wall of hostility.”
Saint Paul

📖 1 Cor 15: 35-41
35 But someone will ask, “How are the dead raised? With what kind of body do they come?” 36 Fool! What you sow does not come to life unless it dies. 37 And as for what you sow, you do not sow the body that is to be but a bare seed, perhaps of wheat or of some other grain. 38 But God gives it a body as he has chosen and to each kind of seed its own body. 39 Not all flesh is alike, but there is one flesh for humans, another for animals, another for birds, and another for fish. 40 There are both heavenly bodies and earthly bodies, but the glory of the heavenly is one thing, and that of the earthly is another. 41 There is one glory of the sun and another glory of the moon and another glory of the stars; indeed, star differs from star in glory.
