Baptist Tiriti Network is an independent group of Baptists in Aotearoa who are advocating for honouring Te Tiriti o Waitangi. We wish to assist our Baptist Churches on their various Te Tiriti hīkoi in resourcing them with information and contacts that will help us all live up to our covenantal obligations under
Te Tiriti o Waitangi.
To encourage Pākehā/Tauiwi in our movement to be the type of Pākehā/Tauiwi that Māori would want to sign a treaty with.
