CareyOnline: Week 5 - Mission Week

WEEK 5

Last week Laurie Guy pointed me to a Stuff feature that reproduced an article from The Conversation website, that was referring to an April 2019 study coming out of Victoria University called: Who do we trust in New Zealand? 2016 to 2019 by Simon Chapple & Kate Pricket.

The next day I was listening to The Panel on RNZ and Simon Chapple was talking about it. The study showed interpersonal trust in New Zealand is modestly on the rise, and compared to other countries, New Zealand’s interpersonal trust is at the higher end of the OECD. “New Zealanders trust Police and Medical practitioners the most, and Bloggers the least.” The Church is about halfway between the least and most trusted. “In 2019 New Zealanders trust their neighbours most, equal with their trust in government to do right for New Zealand.” “The most trusted religious group in New Zealand is Buddhist. The least trusted is Evangelical Christians…” This is great food for thought, don't you think?

IT'S ALL ABOUT MISSION THIS WEEK!

Mission Week '19 is happening on campus next week. We'll have practitioners and mission leaders around campus Monday - Wednesday. Have a chat with them and find out about ways of serving God in the world.

Come and see how you can be available for God's Mission and challenge your thinking on what your participation in mission could involve, here or overseas.

We have guest speakers for Chapel, Wednesday lunch with Tranzsend and Wednesday Prayer focussed on Mission.

“But you, Israel, my servant,
    Jacob, whom I have chosen,
    you descendants of Abraham my friend,
I took you from the ends of the earth,
    from its farthest corners I called you.
I said, ‘You are my servant’;
    I have chosen you and have not rejected you.
So do not fear, for I am with you;
    do not be dismayed, for I am your God.
I will strengthen you and help you;
    I will uphold you with my righteous right hand."
Isaiah 41: 8-10
