Extra printed copies of Te Kahu o te Ora: A Consistent Ethic of Life now ready at $3 each

The landmark new Catholic bishops' teaching document Te Kahu o te Ora: A Consistent Ethic of Life has been reprinted, with paper copies available to schools, parishes, Church organisations and individuals for just $3 each.

Te Kahu o Te Ora contains a succinct overview of eight key moral areas including creation; the beginning and end-of-life; discrimination and abuse; poverty; war and peace; justice and correction; and information technology and artificial intelligence. Published by the NZ Catholic Bishops Conference last September, it is a revised and much-expanded version of a 1997 bishops' statement and reminds us that all life is a gift from God.

NZCBC President and Bishop of Auckland Bishop Stephen Lowe says the bishops want every Catholic to read Te Kahu o te Ora: “We are confident that reflecting on the document will foster hope-filled conversations that will lead to attitudinal change and positive action towards a better world in which all life is consistently treasured and protected.”
