Café Theo is a community education opportunity featuring motivating speakers on a variety of topics that affect us in our everyday lives and faith journeys.  The evening starts at 7pm with coffee, cake and music,  at 7:30pm a talk on the chosen topic is given by the guest speaker and finishes with an opportunity for discussion.   Open to all, there is no entry fee although koha to help us cover costs is appreciated. 

2021 sees the Ven Dr Lyndon Drake and the Most Rev Sir David Moxon as our guest speakers to restart our Café Theo programme.  We are privileged to have two such experienced Christian speakers join us.

Session 1:  Treaty Issues Today

Speaker: The Venerable Dr Lyndon Drake
Deferred until further notice 
​
​The Ven Dr Lyndon Drake is of Ngai Tahu descent and is currently Kaiwhakamana Amorangi (Archdeacon) in Manukau. He was formerly an investment trader in London before becoming a Baptist pastor, a teacher of theology and then an Anglican priest. He has degrees in both computer science and theology and has served in various church government roles. With a warm and open personality, his wide knowledge of multicultural and treaty-based living will make him a most interesting and relevant speaker.

Session 2:  Our Church's Involvement in the Signing of Te Tiriti

Speaker:  The Most Rev Sir David Moxon
Deferred until further notice
​The Most Rev Sir David Moxon is a New Zealand priest and bishop who has had a distinguished ministry here and overseas. With MA degrees from both New Zealand and Oxford he has served as a parish priest, ministry educator, Bishop of Waikato and Senior Bishop of Tikanga Pakeha, and was then the Archbishop of Canterbury's Anglican representative to the Vatican where he worked closely with the Pope. Bishop of Waikato and married to Tureiti Moxon, he has known the NZ bicultural and treaty situation intimately.
