• This Spring 2015 issue of Taonga magazine goes on the rounds with Nelson’s faith-filled parish nurses  – and finds they’re walking in Jesus’ shoes.

• Four Kiwi Anglicans face a challenge from Asian Christians in Jakarta, while Carole Hughes brings a gender balance target home from the UN in New York.

• We meet our new Strandz Children’s Ministry enabler– Diana Langdon – and catch up with her big vision for small disciples.

• Lloyd Ashton introduces us to Australia’s newest Aboriginal bishop, Chris McLeod, who lets us  in on the story that has made him.

• Young theologians from across the Tikanga dive into scripture and tradition for clues on godly living, while Rod Oram looks for hopeful signs that churches are tackling climate change.

• Two stories zero in on how and what we eat: Sarah Wilcox goes vegan, and Phillip Donnell heads out into the garden.  

• Parenting guru John Cowan takes on the dilemma of clergy kids, and Adrienne Thompson shares gems from spiritual direction.

• John Stenhouse shows how 20th century Kiwi history shunted the church into the sidings, and historian George Davis reflects on Anzac memorial in 2015.
