CHRISTMAS AND THE NEW YEAR
To the peoples and tribes of Aotearoa and Te Wai Pounamu, as far as Wharekauri [the Chatham Islands] and the other islands, Greetings, under the blessing of our Lord Jesus Christ.
This is a greeting from He Kupu Whakamarama, people, at the time of the Birthday of our Lord and the New Year. May God help you, and guard you, and guide you in all the right paths. He will strengthen us to work at everything that will further the growth of his kingdom on all the marae of the tribes and hapu who live in these islands, as well as our friends and family who live in distant places and in places that have not yet seen the rays of the Day of Enlightenment.
