30. A Maori Ethic for Earthkeeping: Jay Matenga of the World Evangelical Alliance

            In this episode we talk with Jay Matenga, Executive Director of the World Evangelical Alliance Mission Commission. Jay is known for bringing unconventional thinking to his work—perspectives that confront status quo assumptions, and call into question what he calls the “industrial ethics” that cause us to be separated from the earth--and from one another. From his grounding in indigenous Maori culture, he offers thought-provoking insights that “cut new grooves of understanding” about how we might live differently with our ecologies. Get your free ticket to the online screening of GatherLeave a voice message for ForrestGuest: Dr. Jay Matenga - director of Missions & Evangelism for World Evangelical Alliance Executive Director of WEA's Mission Commission Jay's website & blog  Dr. Matenga's Doctoral dissertation - The Mutuality of Belonging Mentions: Colossians 1:15-17 UN sustainability goals Whakapapa - Maori term for genealogy/ legacy /heritage Dr. Matenga's article discussing Whakapapa Charles Taylor - Canadian philosopher Owen Barfield -English lawyer & an Inkling the Inklings panentheism - the idea that God is in everything MacKinsey's 2021 Global Energy Perspective report critical race theory zero sum game ecotone definition decolonization of knowledge New Zealand is an example of conversation around biculturalism (definition) and doing recompense (definition) epistemological rupture Dr. James Loder - book The Transforming Moment  interpersonal neurobiology - inter-relational interactions is what shapes us as people Keywords: Maori, indigenous, New Zealand, industrial ethics, mauri-ora, whole life mission, animism,Find us on our website: Earthkeepers Support the Earthkeepers podcast Check out the Ecological Disciple
