You’re invited to an exclusive briefing for pastors, church leaders, and those involved in pastoral care, to understand more about the impact of the End of Life Choice Act on New Zealanders.
Euthanasia has only been legal in New Zealand since 2021, but many don’t realise how this law is already reshaping our communities. The Ministry of Health has recommended changes that would expand access, remove safeguards, and erode freedom of conscience rights—raising new concerns for those we’re called to serve.
Join Executive Director Tim Wilson and Research Manager Maryanne Spurdle as they lead this conversation based on our latest research paper Interrogating Choice: Euthanasia and the Illusion of Autonomy.
We’ll cover:
– How the End of Life Choice Act is affecting vulnerable New Zealanders.
– The Ministry of Health’s recommended changes—and what they could mean for the future.
– The gaps in our health system that increase the demand for euthanasia.
Please register your spot using the event link. You are welcome to share this invitation with colleagues or others in ministry.
We hope you’ll join us for this timely and vital conversation.
