How does your faith shape your day-to-day life?

Caroline Williams Reporter from Auckland Stuff

Hi neighbours. I'm looking to chat to some people about their religion for a project to be published in the Sunday Star-Times. The story will examine the role of religion and faith in New Zealand, and how it has changed over the last few decades.

Hi neighbours. I'm looking to chat to some people about their religion for a project to be published in the Sunday Star-Times. The story will examine the role of religion and faith in New Zealand, and how it has changed over the last few decades.

Do you know of any unique places of worship in Auckland? Perhaps you have a special area in your home where your family meets to pray, or the way you cook and meet people is shaped by your faith? How does your faith help you through challenging times?

I'd love to hear from people of all religions - please email me a little bit about yourself at caroline.williams@stuff.co.nz if you're interested in sharing.

Hi neighbours,

Have you seen the arial photographs of the progress of construction on the major motorway project north of Auckland?

The Ōkahu Viaduct is a steel girder bridge that crosses Pūhoi Rd and Te Aqua Pūhoi.

Work is taking place near the Johnstones Hill tunnels, as part of the Ara Tūhono project that will extend the four-lane Northern Motorway (SH1) 18.5km from Pūhoi to just north of Warkworth, in a move aimed at improving road safety.

The motorway was scheduled to open at the end of 2021, but delays due to the coronavirus alert level 4 lockdown in April meant nearly five weeks of working time was lost.

Now, the new road is expected to be open in time for Queen’s Birthday weekend 2022. To read more, click here

On Thursday afternoon, at about 3.15pm, outside the Salvation Army (cnr Duncan Ave and Mt Albert Road) an adult male jogger knocked into my daughter as he jogged past her. He knocked her mobile phone from her hand and sent it smashing to the ground, breaking it significantly.

It is a really big issue for this solo mother, who can not afford to repair or replace the phone (which was a gift). And a huge disappointment for my daughter who has looked after it so well.

It's so totally uncool. He should have STOPPED and made sure my girl was okay, and that her phone was okay. Instead, he just ran off with a "sorry", leaving US with the damage to try to repair :(

Hoping maybe, that this man has a conscience and is prepared to foot the damages caused - or at least, might make more of an effort to pleeeeeeease just avoid people!
