Anglican Journal of Theology
The newly-formed Anglican Theological Research Network, Te Piri Poho, has launched New Zealand’s first Anglican, three-tikanga theological journal, called the Anglican Journal of Theology in Aotearoa and Oceania. The journal is freely available from the Te Piri Poho website and offers an opportunity for the wider church and theological community to access Anglican theological scholarship, and for contributors to share their stories of faith.

Accessible and Inclusive Church
We aspire to be welcoming and accessible to all communities. To honour and celebrate diversity we need to be open to different ways of looking and being in the world and in the church. The Disability Ministry Educators are regularly publishing resources that focus on a different aspect of being accessible and inclusive for all people. These are designed to be put up in buildings to spark discussion around different ways of being accessible and inclusive in ministry units.
