We are a missionary people, committed to the proclamation of the good news of Jesus, teaching the faith, the service of others, and the transformation of the world.
To be Anglican is to be part of a rich and diverse church experience that links us to a worldwide community of 75 million people called the Anglican Communion. We are a people of two books: The Bible, which reveals God’s living Word in Jesus Christ; and the Prayer Book, which expresses our faith through our prayer and worship.
Church life is expressed locally in our parishes and mission ventures which are united within a region called a diocese, which is led by the Bishop. The Diocese of Auckland extends from the Far North to the Hauraki Plains and the Coromandel.
The Healthy Church Model captures our vision for our life and work together, both as a diocese and at the local church level. It provides a framework that helps congregations celebrate their strengths, identify areas for improvement and create space for creative new initiatives.
This Lenten calendar has been created by our Diocese to help us focus and reflect on the journey of Jesus Christ to the events of Easter, and what these mean for us today.
Here you will find reflections, songs, poems, readings and images that focus on finding God in everyday life, especially in times of temptation or suffering. Each week takes an excerpt from Ash Wednesday’s Gospel reading and explores how that might be expressed in daily life.
Lenten study In the Spirit of Lent offers reflections for each of six passages of scripture, those set down as the Gospel reading for the Sundays for Year C during Lent in the Revised Common Lectionary. With text by Gareth Bezett, Theology House director, and art by The Rev’d Sarah West from the Diocese of Auckland.
Join us for Lent and Easter Services 2025. We warmly invite you to journey with us through the season of Lent and Easter. This is a time for reflection, renewal, and rejoicing. Churches around the diocese will be hosting special services and events.
