Jay Ruka - Crusading against colonisation
from Best Siiide
It all started with a dream... literally. Jay Ruka, the new co dean at Taranaki Cathedral Church of St Mary in New Plymouth, joins me on an episode to talk about religion and its relationship to colonisation and the reconciling of those two worlds in the modern day. We explore what it's like growing up within a household run by church leaders and how those influences rippled out into social circles. Surfing, church, colonisation, family and the churches role in settling Aotearoa as an English colony all play out heavily here. We also get into a very elaborate kōrero about chicken and Jays immersing back into Te Ao Māori. Before you change, you need to be challenged.
