“The Council of Nicaea shaped the universal church’s shared faith, showing that unity is not just sameness, but communion in diversity,” reads the programme for the Pacific gathering. “This webinar connects that legacy to Kanak thought, revealing that both Christian and Indigenous traditions seek unity and authentic humanity through transformation, dignity, and relationship.”
Participants will receive background information on the Sixth World Conference, then discuss topics such as the Nicene Creed and a Pasifika Creed for today; unity; and mission and witness amid the climate crisis.
The meeting will be conducted largely through veivosaki, or a deep or serious conversation for finding solutions or alternatives in a given context. “The journey before us is not easy, but it is sacred,” notes the programme. “We walk it together—with our ancestors, with creation, with the Spirit of God who makes all things new.”
The outcome of the meeting will be a Pacific Creed that will be shared in advance of the Sixth World Conference on Faith and Order.
