    The event was held at Pipitea Marae.  Speakers acknowledged Costner's caring leadership during New Zealand's COVID-19 lockdown and offered encouragement and support for the challenges ahead. 

    "Central to Christian values is Jesus Christ's admonition to love one another," Mrs Torea said.

    "It requires us to act justly, to show mercy and to lead with humility.  I pray that Andrew might continue to be guided by these principles during his tenure."
