Christian perspectives on the Treaty Principles Bill – invitation to participate

Bishop Pompallier at the signing of the Treaty of Waitangi, 6 February 1840.

The invitation below is supported by the Archdiocesan Ecology, Justice and Peace Commission.

The government is introducing a Treaty Principles Bill. Even if the bill never becomes law, the conversations about it will influence how the Treaty is understood by many in the years to come. During the season of Advent, Common Grace Aotearoa invites you to gather submissions in your faith community or with a group of friends and have your say on the Treaty Principles Bill. This can be done either in the form of a 90-minute video workshop to learn what the bill proposes and the key concerns about it, and to make submissions opposing the Bill together.

Common Grace are encouraging people to gather submissions between Monday 25 November and Sunday 15 December.

Sign up to equip your faith community for this critical moment in our nation’s history at treatyandbelonging.nz/speakup.
