8. IDENTITY/INCLUSIVITY One Moana - Five Oceans Distinction and Differences Provide Life for ALL Some Examples: Indian - bounded by the continents of Asia, Africa and Oceania 5 major currents - currents flowing in reverse directions a year. Arctic – smallest named Ocean, long hours of sunshine 6 months in darkness shallowest Ocean � Antarctic – coldest and most remote. No rainfall Ice covering this Ocean 70% world's fresh water � Atlantic – wide continental shelf provides important fishing ground, rich oil and gas reserves and minerals. � Pacific – Largest ocean In the midst of vastness many scattered Islands. Many low lying coral islands or atolls � � No ocean exists without the others The Oceans cover 73% of Planet Earth

9. Polynesia & The Oceanic Context An Urgent & Radical Call to Embrace Creation. � Violence against the environment � The name Pacific as an identity for our region was coined by people from Europe and is synonymous with the understanding of scattered small islands. The name perpetuates helplessness and a dependence mentality. � Moana: Ancient Word for the Ocean � This world view recognises the interconnectedness of humanity, all living species and indeed all creation including the heavens. � An urgent and radical call. The Moana speaks in our present history through the sea level rising as a result of climate change. � The Diocese spans a vast section of Oceania - 28 million square kilometres. Home for most species. Waters with the interaction with the sun gift life to wider creation. � The Diocese of Polynesia compelled to add prophetic voices to the voice of the Moana at this critical time. A call for just action

�This is where I stand - I share the vastness and life giving of the context Oceania- also vulnerability �This is also the context of Mission as a three Tikanga Church �“ The effects brought about by human misuse of nature are opening our eyes to who we really are. To be made in God’s image does not mean that we are gods. . but rather God’s partner. Our calling is not a place of privilege but to a place of responsibility. ” WCC �To honour God’s gift of creation, to walk humbly with God is to love justice and show mercy, addressing issues of violence and abuse of power
