Social Justice Week runs from 8-14 September 2024 across Aotearoa New Zealand. This year, the three-year overarching theme continues: ‘Imagine Peace For All / Pohewatia te Rangimārie mō te Katoa.' The special focus in 2024 is: ‘Choose forgiveness, know peace / Kōwhiria te murunga hara, kia mōhio ki te rangimārie.’

One of the key messages is that We are called to forgive others as an expression of God’s love, just as God forgives us. In this video, a range of voices (both young and old) provide personal responses to a few relevant questions related to this message. Listen to their responses and then take the opportunity at the end to pause and reflect on the questions to consider what your answers may be.
