Genesis 32:23-33; Psalm 17; Matthew 9:32-38

Discipleship

Throughout Aotearoa New Zealand we witness the changing shape of the Body of Christ, not only through our welcome to migrants and first generation New Zealanders, but also as different communities change and grow in their understanding of discipleship. A rich concept of collaboration and partnership in ministry is very evident and is a source of blessing and hope and inspiration. Because we are also a Eucharistic community we also recall the exhortation of Jesus to pray for harvest workers to strengthen this precious and growing understanding of shepherdhood.
