Coming up on Te Karere.. It's Easter Monday; we catch up with the next leader of the Anglican Maori Church at an intimate Easter service. We're days out from the Commonwealth Games we'll cross live to our team standing by on the sanding beaches of the Gold Coast. Tuhoe's first Ahurei outside of the tribal region. We'll have the highs and lows from the Rotorua event held over the Easter weekend. 02 April 2018 Due to the live nature of Te Karere, some segments will not be subtitled. Tena koutou katoa, and welcome to Te Karere. Tairawhiti's Anglican Bishop Don Tamihere is Maoridom's youngest bishop to be chosen as the head of the Maori Anglican Church. While the official instalment ceremony for the senior posting as the Bishop of Aotearoa will take place later on this month. Te Rina Kowhai caught up with Bishop Tamihere at an Easter service at Gisborne's Holy Trinity Church. A religious man. A servant for the people. The calling of Pihopa o Aotearoa is a treasure for Maoridom. Apirana Ngata and others also pursued this back in their time. He is the new Archbishop of the Anglican Church in Aotearoa, New Zealand and Polynesia. He is also the bishop for the East Coast, an area that goes as far south as the Hawke's Bay. This is an honour. It was the women and men of this church that put my name forward. I follow in the footsteps of Wiremu Paraone and others. This is such a privilege, and it was the people that gave me this, a young fellow, to do this important work. Tamihere says when the gospel came to the East Coast, it resonated with Maoridom. Faith sits easily with Maori ideologies. It's about having compassion, caring for others, making peace and living in harmony. These are no different to how we as Maori behave. Easter is a very important time for the religion. This is where the source of where the gospel is derived from - Christ's death on the cross and his resurrection. Maori ideologies are seen throughout; when we acknowledge those who have passed on we believe that even though they have left this earth their spirit lives on in the afterlife. This is the same for the resurrection of Christ, even though He died, God brought him back to life. We know that chocolate and bread is food for the body only, and we know as Maori how to be compassionate and live in harmony. We need to live by this for the spirit, mind and body. Tamihere says faith is so important for him. And his main objective is to be compassionate. We must always be compassionate and live through this, encourage, nurture, instill, Te Rina Kowhai, Te Karere. This year's Easter road toll now stands at four, already standing at twice the amount of fatalities recorded over the holiday period last year. The four fatalities thus far were recorded in the Tirohanga, Desert Road and Rotorua. Police are reminding travellers headed home from their Easter break to be patient and watch their following distance. The road toll will end tomorrow at 6 am. The countdown is on until the Commonwealth Games officially kicks off. Te Karere is privileged to have a team of reporters over in the Gold Coast to cover the major sporting event.
