Planning for peace

On this ANZAC Day we remember the fallen in all wars and affirm our commitment to peace, justice and a future without war.

We recognise the fallen in the nineteenth-century New Zealand Wars and the resistance of Māori to colonisation and seizure of land. In particular, we recognise the foundational non-violent resistance of Taranaki whānau at Parihaka. A form of resistance that later influenced both Mahatma Gandhi and Martin Luther King.
