Pastorates and parishes all had representation at Synod and shared decision making and fellowship. Subsequently resources were re-distributed on an agreed basis and now the three regions of the Waiapu Diocese work in partnership with the adjacent areas, or Rohe, of Tikanga Maori. This has allowed Te Reo Maori to be developed and where fellowship has been desired Rohe and parishes have come together for joint worship services of their own accord. I don't believe that legislating for Tikanga Rua would be desirable.

It's part of a work in progress. It's worth also knowing that a followup to Te Kaupapa Tikanga Rua is coming out very soon via the Social Justice Commission. Why not write a post about the 1992 Constitution from your perspective? I am sure people would be very interested. Sheila

The present set-up in my parish works very well. We have a joint service at alternate venues every fifth Sunday in the year. What do you think ?
