A Season for Everything

The Salvation Army in Aotearoa is currently rolling out the most significant structural change since its commencement over 140 years ago. Richard Kerr-Bell, The Salvation Army’s tumu whakarae (national Māori director) for te Rūnanga nationally, explains the meaning and symbolism behind the new names Tai Timu (Northern Division) and Tai Pari (Southern Division). Drawing on the invitations from God to take time to reflect, remember and give thanks embedded within Matariki celebrations, Richard offers some wisdom for navigating this season of change.
