Fendalton responding to growing ethnic diversity - changing face of mission. by Mark Chamberlain

Changing face of mission at Fendalton - growing ethnic diversity.

Priest Assistant at Fendalton Andrew Butcher reports on growing ethnic diversity in the parish and new missional opportunities.

Stats NZ report that NZ will become more ethnically diverse in the coming decades due to slower growth of the 'European or other' populations compared with other ethnic groups. Many of our parishes, including Fendalton, have been experiencing this change for some time. Priest Assistant Andrew Butcher explains his experience and the implications of these changes for our mission to the community.
