Anglican Women’s Studies Centre

The Anglican Women’s Studies Centre was set up by General Synod to serve and to advance the interests and needs of the women of this Church particularly those undertaking theological training.

The Anglican Womens Studies Centre is a three tikanga project, with two Councillors appointed at General Synod by tikanga Maori, two from tikanga Pasifika, and two from tikanga Pakeha. Current Councillors

The Link Representatives from each Diocese and Hui Amorangi have been chosen for their leadership ability to identify, gather, facilitate, resource and encourage women in their educational preparation for ministry whether lay or ordained. Current Link representatives

The Anglican Women’s Studies Centre enjoys the support of each Diocese and Hui Amorangi in this endeavour.

Increasing the numbers of women in representative positions across the councils and committees of the Church is seen as a high priority and the practice of intentional mentoring by those already in national and international representative roles is seen as a good way to expose women of this Church to fulfil their potential as leaders.

Ensuring that women’s voices and stories are heard now and in the future is also one of our continued aims – with a regular newsletter, website, Zoom hui, and publication of books.

We remain optimistic that through continued support, the needs of women throughout this Province will be valued and recognized.

Wisdom from members

The symbol of weaving is I think reflective of the journeys we have made as we weave our stories and experiences to better our understanding of ourselves as mothers and our roles in motherhood.
