Join us as we hear from the incredible Eugene Fuimaono! Eugene is a PhD candidate at the University of Otago and with him we’ll be discussing the whakapapa of colonial Christianity as it arrived in Aotearoa and still persists. What will be identified is not just the formation of colonisation historically, but also its persistent activity today and how Christians should guard against participating in it. It’ll be a fantastic evening and we hope to see you there.

In 2024, Metanoia hosted a series of events asking the question “Can Christianity be Saved?” Meant as a provocative entry point for raising the connection between Christianity and various contemporary issues, each of these dialogues profoundly highlighted the entanglement of Christianity with various injustices and forms of oppression. In our final event of this series, we consider these entanglements and ask if, in light of the damages caused, Christianity in its contemporary form should be saved. We hope that you will join us to discuss and wrestle together with this challenge.
