Te Wāhi Ngaro

This week Michael and Chris are joined by Zhane Tahau-Wheelan. Zhane is a lay minister, seminarian, and modern day monk currently studying at the College of St. John the Evangelist in Auckland, our church's national training college. Zhane talks to us about growing up in a whanau with a strong whakapapa of faith and the powerful influence of his Nannys. We have a korero about the Church of the Brazen Serpent in Tapairu, and we finish off with a quick round of our Fre Favourite Fings: Himene/Worship Song edition!

Following his ordination this past weekend, we introduce you to the Minister formally known as Brother Zhane, we take a look at what actually happens during an ordination service, and we finish off with a look at some of our favourite (or most annoying) Liturgical Lapses.

Join TheRevs as they reflect on their recent up close and personal encounter with our Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern. We try and get to the bottom of what exactly ordination is, and we round out the episode with a korero around our Three Favourite Sacred Spaces.

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.

Today we are lucky enough to be joined by the Ven. Ngira Simmonds, Archdeacon to the Kingitanga and Chaplain to the King as he shares with us his journey to hauora and experience as a bariatric patient. We also share our prophesies around who will be making up our new government, and we close out the show with a round of Three Favourite Things: Rangatira Edition.
