Atuatanga - Atua & Angels Pt 6: Ted & Elwyn Wharemate-Tuarea
Chats on Christian theology, a Maori worldview and life in New ZealandShow Notes
Meet Ted & Elwyn Wharemate-Tuarea. They are both legends, and for the first time in perhaps a generation, they are getting to share their unique story. Ted grew up at Ratana Pa, but not only that, he was also gifted with spiritual sensitivities like Ratana himself. Not only a lawyer and maritime engineer, Ted & Elwyn have led churches and ministered all around the world. Listen to the stories of Ted as we draw our Atuatanga series to a close. They are profound as they are amazing. For the sake of honouring our history, this is one worth listening too.
A few glossary points: Mangai - means 'the mouthpiece', a reference to Ratana the prophet Manuao - The marae at Ratana pa.

Jay is interviewed by Otago Access Radio FM, Dunedin. The interview covers many topics relating to Huia Come Home: our history, worldviews and the vision of mātauranga Māori to bring healing to the world. Thanks to OAR FM and Marvin Hubbard who hosts the Community and Chaos show.
The Brothers Te Karere Scarborough and Neihana Reihana sit down with Jay and talk through their haerenga around the motu over the last few weeks. They chat about Te Pūtake O Te Riri, a Te Tumu Whakapono - a Māori theology symposium at Otago University, and their latest trip to Te Tii O Waitangi. They may have ripped out a tree that Prince Charles planted many moons ago!
In Part 2 Jay continues the conversation with Terry LeBlanc of the Mi'kmaq nation.
