Prayer Cycle – Aotearoa/New Zealand, Australia – November 16-22, 2025

We are thankful for:

  • the beauty of the land and waters of Aotearoa New Zealand and Australia, and the special relationship that people enjoy with the natural environment
  • the identities and cultural practices that indigenous peoples long have maintained, and for their increasing political voice
  • how the people have welcomed new immigrants
  • how churches have witnessed and worked together ecumenically, especially amid challenges of apathy in highly secularized societies

We pray for:

  • churches to have the imagination, skills and energy to build bridges of understanding in increasingly multireligious and multicultural contexts
  • those who work tirelessly on issues of justice for the poor, the marginalized and the dispossessed, especially indigenous peoples
