Strategy Update: Living from Our Values – Hari, Aroha, Rongo

Our three values – Hari (joy), Aroha (love), and Rongo (peace) – aren’t just aspirational words. They’re invitations to live differently. What would change if we made decisions, shaped worship, and interacted with one another through these lenses?

This week, we encourage you to pause and reflect:

Hari - Joy

Where do you see joy breaking in?

How might you live out of this joy?

How might you bring joy to those who are need of more joy?

Aroha - love

"What does love require you to do?" (Quote from Ven Alan Burnett) 

Who is on your radar that you can show love to in practical ways? 

How can you receive the generous love of God this Easter?

Rongo - Peace

Where is peace needed in your life?

Where is peace needed in your circle of influence – and how might you be a bringer of it?

What forgiveness might you need to receive this Easter, and what forgiveness might you need to offer?

These values are already present in the life of our Diocese. Let’s keep living them and having Faith giving Life.
