8. IDENTITY/INCLUSIVITY
One Moana - Five Oceans
Distinction and Differences Provide Life for ALL
 Some Examples:
 Indian - bounded by the continents of Asia, Africa and Oceania

5 major currents - currents flowing in reverse directions a year.
 Arctic – smallest named Ocean, long hours of sunshine 6 months in darkness shallowest
Ocean
 Antarctic – coldest and most remote. No rainfall Ice covering this Ocean 70% world's
fresh water
 Atlantic – wide continental shelf provides important fishing ground, rich oil and gas
reserves and minerals.
 Pacific – Largest ocean In the midst of vastness many scattered Islands. Many low lying
coral islands or atolls
No ocean exists without the others
The Oceans cover 73% of Planet Earth

by people from Europe and is synonymous with the understanding
of scattered small islands. The name perpetuates helplessness and a
dependence mentality.
Moana: Ancient Word for the Ocean
This world view recognises the interconnectedness of humanity, all
living species and indeed all creation including the heavens.
An urgent and radical call. The Moana speaks in our present history
through the sea level rising as a result of climate change.
The Diocese spans a vast section of Oceania - 28 million square
kilometres. Home for most species. Waters with the interaction with the
sun gift life to wider creation.
The Diocese of Polynesia compelled to add prophetic voices to the voice
of the Moana at this critical time. A call for just action

Violence of Abuse of Power in Sea Level
Rising (Climate Change)
CONCLUDING WAVE: MA WHEA – WHERE TO
FROM HERE? UTO NI YALO
Moana Way of Life
 Synod 2011 - New Commitment: The Diocese
committed afresh to Mission
 Synod 2013 – Content of Mission: In CHRIST We Move
Together
 This is where I stand - I share the vastness and life
giving of the context Oceania- also vulnerability
 This is also the context of Mission as a three Tikanga
Church
 “ The effects brought about by human misuse of
nature are opening our eyes to who we really are. To
be made in God’s image does not mean that we are
gods..but rather God’s partner. Our calling is not a
place of privilege but to a place of responsibility.” WCC
 To honour God’s gift of creation, to walk humbly with
God is to love justice and show mercy, addressing
issues of violence and abuse of power
