Click here to register (you need to be logged into the website to register).
Fees Information (Register before 31 December to get the $50 Early-bird discount.)
Numbers are limited due to the venue capacity, so do register early to avoid disappointment. This will be a great opportunity to explore the interaction of the Gospel and the history of early Aotearoa New Zealand, Te Tiriti o Waitangi and what that looks like today.
Earlier this year, the NZCCA Executive Committee took the opportunity to deepen our understanding of Te Tiriti o Waitangi/The Treaty of Waitangi by joining with Karuwha Trust and assisting Te Tii Marae with the preparations for Waitangi Day celebrations. Our time in Paihia/Waitangi was such a profound experience that, after much prayer and reflection, we felt it important to share this journey with our members by reorganising our annual Conference accordingly.
There is something about being on the whenua where the Treaty was drafted and signed - that speaks louder than attending a lecture or watching a video about the founding document of Aotearoa New Zealand. Our speakers bring a depth and wealth of knowledge and expertise in this area that you won’t want to miss out on!
Alistair Reese, a farmer, historian and theologian is well-versed in the colonial history of Aotearoa New Zealand and is involved in promoting reconciliation between Māori and Pākehā.
Antony Nihoniho, lecturer at Canterbury University and Laidlaw College, is passionate about the interface between Te Ao Māori (the Māori world) and Christianity. He is also very practical in exploring ways to interact with and honour Te Tiriti o Waitangi.
Huhana Pene is a counsellor and lecturer at Te Pū Wananga ō Anamata in their Applied Counselling degree and will share on how Te Tiriti o Waitangi and counselling intersect.
Put the dates in your calendars now: 6th – 8th March 2025, Copthorne Hotel Waitangi, and keep checking for updates via email and our Facebook page.
We look forward to seeing you in Waitangi on 6th March!
Noho ora mai,
