“Ko e Fānaú ko e ʻinasi meia Sihova. Ko e totongi ʻoku Ne ʻomi ko e fua he manavá.” Saame 127:3.
Ko e fehuʻi mahuʻinga ke fai ʻe he Siasí: Ko e fānau ʻa hai ʻi he familí mo e Siasí mo sosaietí?. Ko e tali faka-Kalisitiane ki aí ko e fānau ʻa e ʻOtuá ʻi he lau ʻa e Saame 127:3. Ko e ʻOtuá ‘oku Ne tomuʻa ʻafioʻi ‘a e toko taha kotoa, pea toki fatu he manavá. Pea fakatāpui pea toki fānauʻi mai (Selemaia 1:4&5). Ka ‘oku foaki mai ‘a e fānau ko e ʻinasi meʻaʻofa ‘a e ʻOtuá ʻi he founga fakanatula ko e fou mai ʻi he manava ʻo ha tan- gata mo fefine ʻi he non- ofo mali maʻoniʻoni ʻa e husepanití mo e uaifí. Pea ko e kamataʻanga ʻo e nofo malí naʻe tuʻutuʻuni pe ia ki he ʻuluaki tangatá mo e fefiné ʻe he ʻOtuá ʻi he kamataʻanga ʻo e fakatupú ʻi Heʻene folofolá: "Ko ia ʻe tukuange ʻe he tangata ‘ene tamaí mo ʻene faʻē, kae pikitai ki hono uaifí: pea te na hoko ko e kakano pe taha" (Senesi 2:24). Pea ʻoange kiate kinaua ‘o e mafai mo e totonu ki he fakatolonga ‘o e ngaohi tangata naʻe fai ʻe he ‘Otuá ʻi he fanauʻi mai ʻa e fānaú. Pea kei maʻu ‘a e totonu tatau naʻe ngaohi ai ‘a e ʻuluaki tangatá ʻi he ʻimisi ‘o e ʻOtuá. Pea fekau: ...”Mo fakatupu mo fakatokolahi mo fakafonu ʻa mamani...”. (Senesi 1:28).
Pea ‘oku kau atu ʻa e Siasi faka-Kalisitiane kotoa pē
fakataha mo e finangalo ʻo e ʻEikí ke tali ‘a e fānau kotoa kuo fanauʻi mai ki ha fāmilí ki he lotofale ‘o e lotú ke nau kau ki he puleʻanga ‘o e ʻOtuá. Ko e meʻa naʻe tokanga ki ai ‘a e ʻEikí ʻi he talanoa Kosipeli ʻa Maʻake 10: 14-16, ko e mahuʻinga ‘o e tuʻunga fānaú. Naʻe ʻikai tokanga ia pe ko hai naʻa nau ʻomai ʻa e fānaú, he ko ʻEne folofola ki he Kau Akó hono lolomi (taʻofi) ʻa e fānau mei he ‘Eikí: “Tuku pē ʻa e kau tamaiki ke nau haʻu kiate au. ʻOua ʻe taʻofi kinautolu. He ʻoku maʻa e faʻahinga ko iá ʻa e puleʻanga ʻo e ʻOtuá”( Maʻake 10:14).
‘Oku papitaiso ʻa e fānau ʻi he Siasí ko hono fakakau ia kinautolu ko e mēmipa ‘o e Siasí. Ko e fatongia leva ‘o e Siasí ke kau fakataha mo e ngaahi fāmilí hono tauhi ‘a e fānaú ʻi he ngaahi polokalama fakalotu makehe fakamāmani lahi ko ení ke kei pukepuke ʻaki honau langilangí ko e fānau ʻa e ʻOtuá. Hangē ko e Lautohi Faka-Sapate (Sunday School), Kautaha Akolotu (Christian Endeavour group). Potungaue Talavou mo e Finemui (Youth activities), ʻAʻahi mo e ngaahi lesoni faka-Tohitapu ki he ngaahi akoʻanga (Scripture in Schools), Ngaahi ʻApitanga Toʻutupu (Youth camps), Tākanga ʻa e Toʻutupu (Boys' and Girls' Brigate), Katoanga Toʻutupu (Youth Festivals), Ngaahi Maʻunga Kelesi lotu ʻa e Siasi (Church Services), Ngaahi lotu fakafāmilí (Family Devotions), mo ha toe polokalama tānaki mai ʻe he Siasi fakakoló ke fakatatau mo e fiemaʻu ʻa e fānaú.
‘Oku ʻi ai ‘a e ongo lea ʻoku faʻa ngāueʻaki ‘e he Siasí ki he moʻui fakalaumālie ‘a ha taha. Pea ‘oku feʻunga ia mo hono tauhi mo ohi hake ‘a e fānaú. Ko e lea Faʻunga Moʻui Fakalaumālie (Spiritual Formation) ‘o e moʻui ‘a e fānaú ‘i he Siasí, kau ai ʻa e fānaú, ko e kumi ivi fakalaumālie ‘a e fānau ‘o e Siasí ke nau ongoʻi ha ivi makehe mei tuʻa, ‘a ia ko e ivi faka-‘Otua ke nau ngāueʻaki ki haʻane fiemaʻu.
Ko e lea ʻe tahá ko e Faʻunga Ngāue Fakalaumālie (Ministerial Formation) ki he ngāue fakalotu ʻa e fānau ‘o e Siasí. Kuo nau maʻu ivi mei he ngaahi polokalama ‘a e Siasí.

Naʻe hoko ‘a e ngaahi polokalama ko ení ʻi he kuohili ‘a e Siasí ki he faʻunga ‘o e moʻui mo e ngāue fakalaumālié, ko e makatuʻunga ia ke ui kakai ai ‘a e Siasí ki he lakanga fakalotu ʻi he taimi matuʻotuʻa feʻunga ai ‘a e fānaú. Ko e lakanga Malangá, Setuatá, Akonakí, Tauhi ʻAhó, Failautohi Faka-Sapaté ‘o aʻu ki he lakanga Faifekaú.
Pea ʻi he fakalakalaka ‘a e lotú mo e lahi ange ‘a e polé mo e ngaahi fiemaʻú, naʻe fokotuʻu ai ʻa e Kolisi ko Siaʻatoutai ʻi he 1948, ke toe fakaloloto ange ‘a e ʻiló mo e tui mo e ngāue ‘a e fānau kuo nau matuʻotuʻá ‘i hono teuʻi kinautolu ʻe he ngaahi polokalama naʻa nau kamata aí.
