Vatican Radio Archbishop Dew Interview and Rome’s view of NZ

In an interview on Vatican Radio Archbishop Dew said  “Our main challenge, I suppose is how to be present in an increasingly secular society. We are often described as a very secular country, and this is a problem that we are trying to deal with by being a stronger presence in society.”

“For example, we have a National Centre for Bioethics committed on different moral issues. Then, we have recently created a national formation institute to coordinate our teaching staff, but also to make sure that the Churches’ voice is heard on moral issues and public policies and to be present in places where decisions are made. Then there is the challenge of acceptance and integration of immigrants in our parishes through inculturation”
