' has been used in hundreds of churches and faith-based meeting spaces since its inception in 2024 under the banner of not-for-profit (CGA). Its founders, Kate Day and Alex Johnston, saw a need for people in faith communities, tangata Tiriti and tangata whenua, to grow their understanding about Te Tiriti o Waitangi. This is essential if the Christian Church is to participate meaningfully in future conversations about Aotearoa.

Eternal God,
We say good morning to you.
Hallowed be your name. 🙏
Early in the morning, before we begin our work, we praise your glory.
Renew our bodies as fresh as the morning flowers. 🌷
Open our inner eyes, as the sun casts new light upon the darkness
which prevailed over the night. 🌞
Deliver us from all captivity.
Give us wings of freedom like the birds in the sky,
to begin a new journey. 🦅
Restore justice and freedom, as a mighty stream
running continuously as day follows day. 💦
We thank you for the gift of this morning,
and a new year to work with you. 💕

As the year closes, Te Raranga extends warm thanks and aroha to friends, partners and supporters.
