A Christian response to the ‘move-on’ orders.
The Government's move-on orders aren't a solution to homelessness—they are a penalty for being poor. Forcing our most vulnerable neighbours into the shadows with threats of fines and jail doesn't solve the housing crisis; it just breaks the connection between people and the help they need.
TAKE ACTION: Join us in standing for a more compassionate Aotearoa. Contact government Ministers today and ask them to choose support over punishment.
Justice Conversations coming soon…
We are putting together a 3-part workshop series, launching in May 2026, designed for home groups, churches, or even just a group of friends around a dinner table.
We will explore:
Theology: Why Jesus cares deeply about these justice issues of climate, economic and Te Tiriti justice.
Lived experience: How these issues are currently impacting communities across Aotearoa
Action: How the Church can be a voice for transformation in the public sphere.
2025: A Year of Momentum and Political Action
