"As a pastor, husband, father and son, my Pasifika and theological perspective, faith and heart is grounded in being raised in urban Aotearoa New Zealand. I embrace life in a holistic sense and a God that continues to create life is the cornerstone of my theological, social and cultural thinking.
"We cannot ignore the interdependent and interrelatedness of all life on Earth – present, past and future. Different forms of existence overlap and intertwine, requiring an authentic commitment from us as intelligent human beings to be good stewards.
"Students need to be able to reflect, analyse, express and put into action their perspectives on sustainability. They must be prepared to be self-critical and self-reflective. We must be committed to exploring the reality of God in everyday situations, so as to discern and discover life-empowering and life-sustaining solutions for sustainability issues.
"We all need to work together to find practical and transformative approaches to building a sustainable future."
