About this episode
It is Easter Monday - one of the two religious holidays celebrated by the entire country. That’s despite a growing number of New Zealanders not identifying with any organised religion.
So should the whole country still be celebrating the holidays associated with one religious group? And what role does religion have in modern-day Aotearoa?
Last year, Damien spoke with host of Newstalk ZB’s Sunday at Six and the lead chaplain at Media Chaplaincy, Reverend Frank Ritchie, and his thoughtfulness makes this a conversation well worth hearing again.
