HONO MAI - KARAKIA RĀTAPU

Nau mai, haere mai.
Hono mai ki a mātou kia karakia tahi, kia mahi tahi
hei mihingare Māori.

Te Mīhana Māori is a community of Mihingare (Māori Anglicans) based in the heart of Auckland’s CBD. We are a diverse mix of cultures – Māori, Pākehā, and Tauiwi (non-Māori) – who find a home in a Māori expression of Christian worship.

Ko wai mātou?

Karakia Rātapu

Nau mai, haere mai i tēnei Rātapu

Karakia whakamoemiti ia Rātapu:
10:30 am – Family Service: reo e rua (Māori & Pākehā) karakia whakamoemiti. I roto i te karakia: ētahi waiata, te panui o ngā Karaipiture, he kauwhau, ā, te Hākari Tapu hoki.

I te wā e tūwhera ana ngā Kura, Kura Rātapu mō ngā tamariki o te hāhi nei.

He papawaka huri noa i te whare - kore utu i ia Rātapu. Ā, whaimuri i te karakia, haere mai ki a Tātai Hono Marae mō tētahi kapu tī.

Hono mai:
Ā-tinana: 2 Burleigh Street, Grafton, Tāmaki Makaurau.
Ā-ipurangi hoki: live stream.

Whakapono

He whānau whakapono tēnei, nā te Atua mātou i whakakotahi. Ko te whāinga matua kia mahi mātou hei ringaringa o Ihu Karaiti ki roto i tēnei horopaki o Tāmaki Makaurau. Ko tō mātou pepeha mātāpono: Te Wero o Te Whakapono.

Whakapapa

He hōhonu, he roa tō mātou whakapapa ki te Hāhi Mihingare. Ka raranga mātou i ngā pūrākau o ō mātou tīpuna, ngā hītori o te Hāhi ki Aotearoa me Te Tiriti o Waitangi hei tūrangawaewae mō tō mātou whakapono. Ko te reo Māori me ōna tikanga, he tākoha nā te Atua ki a mātou. Nā reira, ka kaha whakamahia i roto i ā mātou whakamoemiti.

He maha ngā huihui, ngā wānanga i tō tātou hāpori.
Haere mai ki ngā kaupapa nei.

Ngā hui

“Te Mīhana Māori has been a place for my faith as Māori to thrive. While I was reclaiming my reo, here I found friends on the journey, and I found a safe place to stand confident in being both Māori and Christian, and for those to be recognised in unity before God." 

Ethan Fasi-Mohenoa (Ngāti Porou, Tonga, Niue, Ingarangi),
mema

“The beautiful blend of tikanga Māori and Christianity at Te Mīhana Māori means the hospitality is warm, the generosity bountiful, and the fight for social justice ongoing -  as is the heartfelt desire for reconciliation and unity in this great little country we all love.”

Karen LLoyd (Pākehā),
mema

“From being a stranger on day one to a year later washing dishes, helping out on AV, bringing my whānau through and now all the kaumātua and kuia knowing me by name - I'm so grateful for Te Mīhana Māori." 

Ben Haurua (Te Rarawa, Te Tai Tokerau),
mema

“I find this church a place of real warmth and welcome. It's not just the beautiful Sunday morning service, it's the cup of tea and kai afterwards, the warm hugs and greetings, the sense of belonging and being seen and accepted.”

Kirstin Fleming (Pākehā),
Mema

“Te Mīhana Māori is a place that upholds tikanga, manaakitanga, aroha, our reo, and the importance of whānau and our whenua in a way that brings glory and honour to Te Atua." 

Leslie Haurua (Ngāti Kuri),
mema

“As a son of Chinese migrant parents, I long to belong with a place and people. Through our shared whakapono in Īhu Karaiti and the expression of manaakitanga from te ao Māori, Te Mīhana Māori has created a home for my whānau to belong. I also feel a sense of belonging participating to their mission, which is to embody Te Rongopai in Tāmaki so that Māori, Manene, and mokopuna will collectively flourish. ”

Rev'd Wilson Chan (Cantonese, Hokkien),
Minita

“We have been so blessed to have been welcomed wholeheartedly into this community that seeks to serve Christ authentically; worshipping together using the language of our whenua in a physical space that blends Māori and European aesthetic traditions.”

Tākuta Sam BROWN (Pākehā),
Mema

“There is a place for all at Te Mīhana Māori – including for my fellow tāngata Pākehā. Jesus "pitched his tent" amongst a wonderfully diverse community. He didn't care about background or occupation - he simply cared about people.”

Karen LLoyd (Pākehā),
mema

"Te Mīhana Māori is a place where my faith is enriched by the faith and tikanga of my elders in this land. I’m so grateful for this intergenerational community."

Lillian Murray (Pākehā nō Ingarangi, Kōtirana),
mema

"If you love Jesus, want to learn to love him, or maybe fall in love with him all over again, you can do this at Te Mīhana feeling welcomed, valued, comfortable and safe.”
