Tikanga Toru Youth Commission www.makethefirstmove.org PO Box 87 188, Meadowbank, Auckland 1742, New Zealand The Tikanga Toru Youth Commission belongs to the Anglican Church in Aotearoa, New Zealand and Polynesia. Our purpose is to strengthen and support ministry to young people through advocacy, training and fellowship. Designed by Two Sparrows Printed in New Zealand 2 FOREWORD Bishop Helen-Ann Hartley 3 Tikanga Youth Liaison Bishop or any church to be relevant it must listen carefully to all that surrounds Fit and enfolds it. We listen firstly to God, inspired by the Holy Spirit and following the example of Jesus. Each person is made in the image of God, and each person has much to contribute as we engage in God’s mission together. The church needs to both listen to the voices of our youth and to enable those voices to actively shape our engagement in the many communities of which we are part, and with those who don’t feel they belong. It’s a cliché perhaps to say that ‘we were all young once’, but that is true for each of us, regardless of our age. When I think back to all those people who said ‘yes’ to me when I was a young person, and who encouraged me, without those voices, I would not have chosen to commit my whole life to following Jesus, and to being faithful to that call to go wherever it would take me, even to the ends of the earth! Of course, we aren’t really ‘the ends of the earth’ here in Aotearoa, New Zealand and Polynesia. We are in fact the centre of the earth! Our task is to build a Kingdom that is fully inclusive and reflective of the rich tapestry of all God’s people, and here in the Youth Commission, we seek to do just that in an unreasonably hospitable way! So what are we waiting for? Let’s begin and say ‘yes’ to God’s call to engage with all our youth!

Working to fulfil the vision for 3T Youth Ministry, the Commission and Commissioner occupy the space between Tikanga and: Encourage us to talk with and support each other. Support resourcing, events and education. Speak up about young people and youth ministry across the Church. Our Kaupapa Discipling young people to be Christ-centred in our Three-Tikanga Church. Our Values In this season, the Youth Commission is guided by and seeks to exemplify the following values: 1. We exercise unreasonable manaakitanga; not only are you welcome, but we’re committed to bridging any obstacle that stands in the way of us being together in Christ. 2. We work at high trust relationships; we are committed to speaking the truth in love, being open, honest, and vulnerable. 3. We listen to each other’s talanoa; together we have a thousand stories, of who we’ve been, who we are and who we will be—of God and God’s action. Every story, no matter the inconvenience of hearing or telling it, is important. 4. We operate with creativity and imagination; we have deep roots but we are not shackled to old ways of doing things. We are committed to asking, time and again, “What new work is God doing?” 5. We aspire to be edge-walkers; as God goes before us all, we are committed to embracing our calling to go to those on the margins and beyond. 4 WHO IS ON THE TIKANGA TORU YOUTH COMMISSION?

Young people need someone willing to share their lives with them and to walk alongside them. Someone to make the first move. Make the First Move: A Practical Resource for Mentoring Young People is designed to make mentoring easy – to stress its importance, give some simple answers to common questions, and provide you with the know-how and confidence to make the first move and get involved. www.makethefirstmove.org/makethefirstmove 7 Every moment is the right moment Christ chose some of us to be … missionaries, pastors, and teachers, so that his people would learn to serve and his body would grow strong. Ephesians 4:11-12 ften we feel like we have to wait for the right moment before Oallowing young people to have a go. If you’re waiting for the right moment to include and involve young people there is no “right” moment; every moment is the right moment to include young people, to make way for young people to be involved and contribute to the life of this church. Every Moment is the Right Moment for Doing Theology Where You Are: A Practical Resource for Doing Theology is an easy to follow guide to doing theology – to help you to think a little more deeply about God in relation to you, where you are, and the issues with which you are faced. In this resource you will find several methods or ways of doing theology from Pākehā, Māori and Pasefika contexts. www.makethefirstmove.org/everymoment 8 Because it matters Whoever sows sparingly will also reap sparingly, and whoever sows generously will also reap generously. 2 Corinthians 9:6 oung people and youth ministry is a stated priority in every YTikanga of the Anglican Church in Aotearoa, New Zealand and Polynesia. This is awesome! We all know that if we want our youth ministries to succeed we must resource them, provide training for their leaders and give of our time and talents; a lived mentality of providing on-going support for those ministering with young people.
