Tūrangawaewae

What shapes tūrangawaewae?

How does tūrangawaewae enrich kotahitanga?

Religious Education

Task 1

Focus - Parable of the Talents


God gives everybody some talents and gifts. Jesus told a story about three servants who were entrusted with large sums of money by their master when he went away on a long journey

[Matthew 25:14-30].


  1. Explain the meaning if this Parable

  2. What did you learn from this Parable of Talents?

Task 2

Focus - Work of the Church

The work of the Church is to carry on the saving work of Jesus Christ. This means continuing to share the good news – Rongo Pai of Jesus Christ with all people, both talking about it and living it. This means teaching those who already believe in Jesus to understand their faith more deeply and to live it more deeply. This means showing manaakitanga – caring for people in need and working for peace and justice – rangimarie and tika, in the world. This also means worshipping God in prayer – karakia and in the liturgy, and celebrating the Sacraments faithfully. Sacraments are especially important because they bring people a share in the life of Jesus through the gift of the Holy Spirit – Te Wairua Tapu; they bring hohou rongo – God’s mercy and healing power; they bring special gifts – taonga which enable people to build up the Kingdom or Reign of God – Te Rangatiratanga, the Kingdom of justice, peace and mercy.

  1. What is the purpose of the work of the Church?

  2. Give three examples of the work of the church?

Task 3

Focus - To recognise the ways people use their gifts in carrying out the work of the Church

To some God gives great gifts. The greater the gifts each person is given in the first place, the more they are expected to exercise their mana and to use them to carry out the work for the good of God’s people who are the Church. People use their gifts in many ways. Some work directly for the Church community – Te whanau a Te Karaiti, preparing liturgy, teaching others about faith, looking after church property. Others manaaki – care for people in need, eg the old, the sick, the lonely. Some people bring about the Kingdom or Reign of God through their ordinary work, trying to build up a more just and caring society. It does not matter whether one has a lot of talents, or a few, whether one is very clever, or just good at doing something simple. What does matter is that each person exercises their mana and does the very best they can with the gifts they have.


  1. How can young people use their talents for the work of the Church in their Pastoral area?

  2. Reflect on this message and message of the parable of the talents and then record your ideas.

"Your talent is Gods gift to you. What you do with it is your gift back to God."
