Te Wāhi Ngaro Te Rau Theological College

New podcast branding calls for a new trailer, so here it is!

Te Wāhi Ngaro speaks of the in-between places & the hidden spaces where humanity & the divine connect.

Te Wāhi Ngaro officially launches in the spring, but until then we will have regular uploads of our on location short series of episodes looking at what exactly Te Wāhi Ngaro is.

With the completion of the Easter Season TheRevs and everyone else are plunged into Pentecost! But what is Pentecost, and what does it mean for us - TheRevs may, or may not answer those questions, lol! We also reflect on the recent investiture of Sir Derek Lardelli and discuss what accepting, or not accepting Royal Honours may mean for Maori. In keeping with the political theme, we finish off the show with a rather frivolous round of Three Favourite Things, looking at our three favourite Civil Servants.

This week TheRevs are joined by the Rev. Chaans Tumataroa-Clarke, the national Youth Commissioner for the Anglican Church. We talk to him about his life and mahi and then move the conversation right along as we reflect on the conversations around Maori Wards in Local Body Councils. As a current sitting Maori Ward Councilor, this is a kaupapa close to Chaans' heart. We finish off the show by asking Chaans to add his favourite songs to the Mihinare Playlist.

In this episode we share what might be a kupu hou for some: Paschal. We discuss the disestablishment of the various Health Boards around Aotearoa and the establishment of a Maori Health Authority, and we finish off with fun segment sharing who we would like as our patron saint!

Like all great podcasts, we start this week's episode with a meandering yarn, we then reflect on the death of the Duke of Edinburgh and what it can teach us about mourning our enemies, we finish off the podcast with a marginally in depth look at Holy Week.

TheRevs take on the latest in clerical fashion and share some thoughts around the peculiar piece of clergy clothing commonly known as the "dog collar." We then take a look at the recent governmental announcement around housing, and we finish up with a few question from Uia Me Anything.
