Tena koutou whanau

Alleluia, Christ is risen.

Just a short note to say that I will joining Anne van Gend and Damon Plimmer at the International Rural Churches Association Conference over the next 10 days, returning to Dunedin on April 23. The Four Yearly Conference is being held, on this occasion, in Dubuque, Iowa and has delegates scheduled to attend from many locations and representing most of the continents. This should be a great opportunity to share ideas and see how God is working in a variety of rural situations the world over.

While I am away the Ven Jan Clark – Vicar General – will be available for any emergencies, and can contacted via the Diocesan Office.

I am very grateful to Jan for taking on this responsibility, and we as a Diocese are very blessed to have her wisdom and experience.

With my love and prayers
