Lyndon Drake | A Moemoeā | Festival One 2020
Manage episode 311646505 series 3162078
A Moemoeā is a dream or vision. The Christian story in Aotearoa is tied to the dreams and visions of those who brought the good news of Jesus to this land empowering Maori to flourish in mission and minsitry. This vision from the past feeds on-going Moari-led forms of traditional and new ministry today.
The Ven Dr. Lyndon Drake is of Ngāti Kurī descent from Kaikoura (Ngā Tahu), and is married to Miriam with three children. He serves as Atirikona/Archdeacon o Tāmaki Makaurau and Pirihi Whakahaere/Priest-in-charge o te Takiwā o Manukau within te Pīhopatanga o Te Tai Tokerau (the Auckland and Northland area of the Maori Anglican church).
Until 2010 Lyndon was a Vice President at Barclays Capital, trading government bonds and interest-rate derivates. Since then he has served as a pastor, in theological education, and in regional and international Christian leadership.
