DISCOVERING RELIGIOUS DIVERSITY: Contemporary Beliefs and Practices
As in many parts of the New Zealand, Tauranga is growing in religious diversity. Every day we can see people of different faiths dressed differently. We are increasingly finding ourselves associating with members of different cultures and faiths whether recreationally, socially or in the workforce. Have you ever wondered what people in those faiths believe and how why some of them dress so differently? Have you ever wondered what happens in a Muslim mosque or Sikh temple? This course invites you to explore the diverse religious traditions contributing to New Zealand society.
The topics for this term include: Foundations & Founder Figures; Sacred Texts; Image & Iconography; Prayer & Worship; Sacred Time; Sacred Spaces; Sacred Music; Sacred Clothing.
Please note: the course is conducted in an entirely objective non-judgmental environment, presenting all faith traditions in equal light.
The classes will be held at St. George’s Anglican Church, 1 Church Street, Gate Pa, on Friday nights from 6-8pm, beginning on 3rd August.
The course cost is Waged: $80 per term; Unwaged/Students/Seniors: $65 per term

🪱🐦 When are you the most productive? 🌙🦉
The Post has been diving into our daily habits, and research suggests being an early bird or a night owl isn’t just a choice—it’s biology! We all have that specific time when our brains finally "click" into gear.
This raises a big question for the modern workplace. To get the best out of everyone, should employers accommodate our natural body clocks? This idea is at the heart of the four-day work week and flexible scheduling movements.
We want to hear from you:
1. When does your brain "click" into gear?
2. Would a flexible (or shortened) schedule change the way you work?
🌉🛶 Early Birds Might Crack This One First… or Not? 🥚🧠
A person is crossing a bridge and sees a boat full of people, yet there isn't a single person on board.
How is this possible?
