In the early 1900's a German immigrant arrives in Corvallis, OR and begins a church. His beliefs and passion for his ministry attracted several well-respected families to join the church, but it wasn't long before the charming leader had pushed out all men, and drawn all the women very close. Soon the women were cutting ties with their families, and rumors swirled of "purification" rituals involving sexual encounters with the leader, causing the husbands, fathers and brothers to plot their revenge.

A treat for Simon, Darren and I, as part of our adventure in and around Christchurch and Bournemouth. We spoke with Shaun, who lives at Victor Meldrew's home, as well as Gill & Ted, occupying Mr Swainey's address. This was a treat and a privilage to speak to down-to-earth people who probably have no idea how awesome it is, to be residing at such famous houses in the British comedy world. Thank you to Shaun and his wife and Gill & Ted.

Morgan MacAllister-Robb has been a truck driver for over 30 years - a career that can be lonely at times. But lately, he's had some company on the road. Since lockdown last year when regular pet couriers had to stop work, he's been transporting rescue dogs - and the odd cat - to their new homes if it's on his Christchurch to Palmerston North route. The animals hitch a ride with him in the cab of his truck which transports frozen food to supermarkets. He's now chauffeured over 150 furry clients since March last year.

After seven years watching over the privacy of New Zealanders, John Edwards is off to do the same for those in the UK. He was first appointed to the role of Privacy Commissioner in 2014 and reappointed in 2019. He finished up just over a week ago, and will head to the UK to start the new year as Information Commissioner. During his time he's been outspoken in the role, and a champion for privacy - as one might expect. But his criticism of Facebook in particular, in the wake of the Christchurch mosque attacks - which were livestreamed by the social media giant - netted him international media attention. Kathryn talks to him about his time in his watchdog role here, and challenges in the next.

An investment fund manager has been sentenced to more than eight years in prison, after cooking his investment fund's books by hiding a large but fictitious sum using a white font on a white background. That made it look like the fund was growing, when the opposite was true. The Christchurch fund manager Kelly Simon Tonkin, who's 52-years-old, lost more than $80 million that more than150 clients had invested in the Penrich Global Macro Fund. Tonkin was sentenced yesterday in the Christchurch District Court after pleading guilty to representative charges of false accounting, false statements, and forgery brought by the Serious Fraud Office. He was given a minimum non-parole period of four years three months. Serious Fraud Office deputy chief executive of operations Paul O'Neil spoke to Susie Ferguson.

Catechesis December 12th, 2021 (Fr. Lee Nelson) by Sermons and Catechesis from Christ Church, Waco

Rev. Celeste's guest is Rev. Michael Terranova, publisher and sole owner of Wise Woman Press. Michael is an independent New Thought minister who promotes the teachings of Emma Curtis Hopkins. He has published all of her books and created Self Treatments (which is a compilation of Self-treatment and other published works). Michael has accepted Emma Curtis Hopkins as his ministry. Emma died in 1925 but is still a great influence on New Thought.Ruth Miller, two other women and Michael formed Wise Woman Press (WWP). He studied the Kingdoms of Consciousness (http://www.sacreddays.org/) with Rev Marcia Sutton and was called to do this work. "Scientific Christian Mental Practice" is Emma's most popular book. WWP publishes a few contemporary female authors. WWP published the Path of Power series (including work by Fillmore and Holmes), which ministers use for sermons. Michael created the websites www.emmacurtishopkins.com and www.wisewomanpress.com. WWP published Emma's major works as well as 23 of her Bible Interpretation Series. There are five Bible Interpretations left to publish. Michael thinks the Bible interpretations are her best work. He won't leave here until they are published.Michael shared history. Emma ordained Myrtle and Charles Fillmore. Emma's student, Annie Rix Militz founded the Home of Truth (which still exists in Alameda, CA). In the late 1800s, when Emma began her ministry, Theosophy came into prominence. She was influenced by Hinduism and other mystic philosophies. There are misperceptions about Emma. One is that Malinda Cramer was a student of Emma. One of Emma's students, Kate Bingham taught the Brooks sisters. A healing took place. With Melinda Cramer, the women created Divine Science.At one time, everything was called Christian Science, but Mary Baker Eddy became owner of the name Christian Science. To Michael, New Thought teaching is that Christ is the Truth. Michael changed the name of Emma's book, "First Lessons in Christian Science". This was Emma's first book, but no one wanted to publish it by that name. It's now called "First Lessons from the Journals of Emma Curtis Hopkins". To Michael, the most intriguing part of Emma's teaching is Christ. A lot of New Thought teachings do not include Christ. Michael stopped practicing Catholicism, but he continues his connection with the Christ Presence. Emma teaches Jesus Christ. She teaches that the Bible stories are about us. She doesn't talk about Heaven and Hell, but instead about how to let Christ be your life.  Ernest Holmes got mysticism from Emma. Mysticism is an encompassing presence. Holmes' teaching changed after that. Fenwicke Holmes said that. Fenwicke wrote The Voice Celestial. Michael interprets the poem as the Bhagavad Gita story.Yogananda's teaching came from Babaji. Yogananda (Home | Self-Realization Fellowship (yogananda.org) was one of Michael's grandmother's teachers.Michael created an Emma Curtis Hopkins group at https://groups.io/g/emmacurtishopkins/Michael came into ministry because of a longing to know God. He was previously engaged in past life regression work. In his past, he found that he was a minister and a friar. He also uses the past life regression work, the tarot, the Kaballah, and numerology to keep in touch with the Presence. The Truth is always out there.Michael's mystic moment came when he was a young man at a party who got in an argument and got stabbed. Something within him said "Life goes on within you and without you". He knew there are greater things than the life he was living. It was quite enlightening.A house painter by trade, Michael pays attention to detail. He was ordained in the Christ Church of Co-Creation in Portland, Oregon in 2009. Listen to Rev. Celeste's poem: "Mystic MusingsSupport the show (http://paypal.me/rev107)

Te Pae, Christchurch's near $450 million convention centre, has been officially opened this afternoon with a pōwhiri and unveiling by Mayor Lianne Dalziel and Minister Megan Woods. Billed as a legacy for the city, it replaces the old centre which was demolished following the Canterbury earthquakes. Niva Chittock is at the ceremony and joins Lisa with the details.

Genomic testing is underway to determine whether the Omicron variant has spread amongst other passengers onboard a flight from Dubai to Auckland. At least two other passengers onboard the flight, which landed last Friday in Auckland before going on to MIQ in Christchurch, have since tested positive although one has the Delta variant. It comes as 76 new cases of Covid-19 were recorded today including 47 in Auckland, 15 in the Waikato, 10 in the Bay of Plenty, three in Taranaki and one in the Lakes district. Fifty one people are in hospital and five are in intensive care. Delta hit businesses hard in 2021, and now Omicron is bringing fears of more restrictions. While data on the new variant remains scarce for now, hospitality and tourism operators say if Delta is anything to go by they are in for another grinding year. Nick Truebridge has the details.

Over the next week, travellers passing through Christchurch airport around midday will be greeted by visiting therapy dogs. Karyn Hay chats to Chief Aeronautical and Commercial Officer Justin Watson about the P.A.W.S programme.

After lengthy construction and Covid-19 delays, a centrepiece in Christchurch's earthquake rebuild will finally open its doors today. The $475 million convention centre called Te Pae is already booked to host 150 events next year, but they're not expected to be money-makers. Reporter Jean Edwards took a tour.

The pressure's on to get vaccine booster shots into more arms much faster with the arrival of Omicron in the country. One person in managed isolation in Christchurch has the highly transmissible variant. Health experts here warn it will soon break though into the community. Jordan Bond reports.

An epidemiologist says the reopening of the trans-tasman bubble must be postponed, and any loosening of MIQ protocols reviewed urgently. Keeping the border secure is critical, according to Michael Baker, following the first detection of the Omicron variant in New Zealand - on a passenger who arrived from Germany via Dubai. The person is in a managed isolation facility in Christchurch. Professor Baker spoke to Corin Dann.

Panellists Neil Miller and Zoe George discuss Christchurch weather, vaccination targets and an Omicron case in New Zealand.

A Christchurch hero has been awarded the country's highest bravery accolade - the New Zealand Cross. On March 15th 2019, Abdul Aziz and his four sons were attending prayer at the Linwood Islamic Centre when a terrorist opened fire on worshippers. Aziz left the congregation to chase the gunman away - facing extreme danger to save others. He told Susie Ferguson what the New Zealand Cross means to him. [audio_play] Dr Naeem Rashid has also been awarded the New Zealand Cross posthumously - he was fatally shot during the attack when he ran at the gunman and tackled him.

There were around 80 flood related call outs in the Manawatu town yesterday evening. Fire and Emergency says some of the calls were quite serious and a number of homes were evacuated. It was a similar story in the South Island, parts of North Canterbury had surface flooding and some homes were impacted. Some suburbs around the Heathcote and Avon River also went underwater flooding some homes and roads. It was a more serious situation in the Banks Peninsula where homes in Le Bons Bay were evacuated after the stream burst taking out some of the side of the hill. RNZ reporter Conan Young spoke to Corin Dann from next to Avon River in Christchurch.

Rain eased in Christchurch overnight and council contractors are out and about this morning to assess damage. Torrential rain caused flooding, closed roads, prompted slip warnings and wastewater overflows contaminated floodwater. The Council's Helen Beaumont is confident they're through the worst of it but there is water across the city. Peter Timbs Meats in Edgeware was flooded last night, for the second time this year. David Timbs has been there since 4am on Thursday cleaning up. He spoke to Susie Ferguson.

Torrential rain made for a restless night for those in Christchurch. Around 140 millimetres of rain fell over the past 24 hours, roughly three times the normal rainfall for the entire month of December. The storm has passed and a heavy rain warning has just lifted for the Canterbury Plains.

Twenty-three of the country's mayors are headed to Wellington to voice their opposition to water reforms.   Communities 4 Local Democracy, or He hapori mō te Manapori, is a new local government action group formed to bring what it hails as "fresh ideas" to the Three Waters debate.   The leaders travelling to the capital mainly represent district councils, but the likes of Christchurch and Napier will be there too.  Manawatū District Council mayor Helen Worboys, who helped create the campaign, spoke to Susie Ferguson. 

Christchurch airport is bracing for a huge influx of Aucklanders as the city's residents are freed after more than 100 days locked down. And for those struggling with the crowds and the extra anxiety travel brings - some fluffy bundles of cuteness will be there to ease the stress. New Zealand's first 'Airpawt' ambassadors - otherwise known as therapy dogs. Christchurch Airport's Chief Aeronautical and Commercial Officer Justin Watson talks to Lisa Owen.

For the first time in four months, Aucklanders will finally get the chance to head south when the city's border opens tomorrow. It's likely to be a day of busy airports, tearful reunions and a little caution in the South Island, as Jean Edwards reports.

A collection of stories to help children better understand the Muslim community will be available to all primary schools. The stories have been produced by the Islamic Women's Council in partnership with the Education Ministry. It's just over a year since the Royal Commission on Inquiry into the terrorist attack on the Christchurch mosque. Islamic Women's Council spokesperson Anjum Rahman spoke to Corin Dann.

Pearl Harbor Day Today we remember the attack on Pearl Harbor Naval Base in Honolulu, Hawaii. The attack commenced at 7:48 a.m. Hawaiian Time (18:18 GMT) on December 7, 1941. The base was attacked by 353 Imperial Japanese aircraft (including fighters, level and dive bombers, and torpedo bombers) in two waves, launched from six aircraft carriers. Of the eight U.S. Navy battleships present, all were damaged, four were sunk. All but USS Arizona were later raised, and six were returned to service and went on to fight in the war. The Japanese also sank or damaged three cruisers, three destroyers, an anti-aircraft training ship, and one minelayer. A total of 188 U.S. aircraft were destroyed; 2,403 Americans were killed and 1,178 others were wounded. This was one of the decisive events that led to America joining World War 2. Moscow Caroling Moscow Idaho dot news Members of Christ Church, a local evangelical congregation, gathered to sing Christmas carols on Friendship Square on Sunday, December 5th, singing about a dozen traditional carols followed by hot cocoa and cookies. This is a yearly tradition for the church, and gathered approximately 300 people. As they began singing, an individual residing in the second floor of the Moscow Hotel allegedly placed a noise machine speaker system in the window of an apartment in an attempt to drown out the Christmas carols. According to a witness at the scene who measured the sound with his smartphone, it topped 90 decibels. Meanwhile another individual on the steps of the Moscow Hotel yelled at the gathered families singing, and made disparaging gestures. Pastor Doug Wilson stood up after a song and said, “Two things – the first thing we should do is on three yell ‘Merry Christmas.'” The carolers shouted a robust “Merry Christmas” on three, directed at those at the Moscow Hotel attempting to drown out the singing. Wilson continued, “The second thing is let's move across the street around the fountain.” The carolers crossed the street and continued singing. After a short while the noise from the noise machine ceased, and singing continued unhindered until the end of the event. The individual responsible for the noise machine was issued a citation by Moscow Police for disturbing the peace, and an MPD officer stayed on the scene to ensure no more illegal disturbances would take place. As the carolers made their way across the street, one of the carolers, Jared Longshore, tells the camera, “Merry Christmas! We do love them up there.” Listen: 0:50-1:49 Ad: Classical Conversations DNB: Classical Conversations supports homeschooling parents by cultivating the love of learning through a Christian worldview in fellowship with other families.

The diplomatic boycott means that U.S. athletes will still compete in the games, which will start in Beijing in February. The Chinese government responded with swift condemnation of President Joe Biden's decision -- saying the Olympics shouldn't be "a stage for political shows" and warning of "resolute countermeasures." But the Biden administration said it would not send senior U.S. government officials because of China's mass detention camps and forced sterilization campaign against Uighurs and other Muslim ethnic minorities in the country's western province -- policies that the U.S. government has determined constitute genocide and crimes against humanity. Biden has been under growing pressure domestically to take some kind of action against the Beijing games because of China's increasingly authoritarian policies at home and aggressive actions across the region. The decision to not send a delegation stops short of an outright boycott of the games, as U.S. athletes will be participating. "The athletes on Team USA have our full support. We will be behind them 100 percent, as we cheer them on from home," said White House press secretary Jen Psaki, but the administration didn't think "it was the right step to penalize athletes who have been training, preparing for this moment."

You've decided not to have a baby! This is a huge milestone, and we want you to know that we—your friends and family—are here to support you. It's going to be a challenging first couple years as you power through the remainder of your thirties with people constantly asking when you're going to procreate like they're eager customers at a Golden Corral and you're the chef cooking up the next round of fresh hot buns. [Ok pause. It really isn't any random stranger's business to ask about someone's plans for marriage or having children. But parents are required by God to raise their children in the nurture and admonition of the Lord. That nurture includes teaching about the blessing of children and family when we received with biblical faith. A parent talking with their grown children about marriage is not out of bounds, and while a married couple may not share every detail with parents, in a healthy relationship, it need not be some dark secret if a couple is struggling with infertility or some of significant health issues affecting the bearing of children.] “But not to worry—once you hit forty, that'll be behind you! Then you'll be able to look blissfully ahead to the next several decades of acquaintances wondering if you're really “O.K.,” and whether having a thriving career while also being able to go on vacation whenever you want is truly making you happy. We're going to be here to support you through that, too. [Wait. Who's going to be there for you? If everyone's doing the childless thing… um, who's going to be there for you? I mean all the childless people are going to get older and then they will need help from who exactly? And they actually won't be there for you because they will be going to doctors appointments and dealing with all the anxiety of prolonged isolation.] “Today is all about you, so let's celebrate! We've got cupcakes, Bellinis, and a big pile of presents for you to open. This first gift is from Carla and it's—you guessed it—a motorcycle! You are now free to hit the open road, knowing that if you die in a terrible, fiery crash, there won't be anyone left waiting for you to pick them up from preschool. You're off the hook, non-Mom! … We also got you diapers! They're for you to wear when you're having so much fun partying well into your fifties that you'd rather stay right where you are and hear the next song than leave the dance floor for even one second to find a bathroom. They will also be useful if you ever decide to spend New Year's Eve in Times Square—as an adult unshackled by the burden of offspring, that is just the kind of idiotic decision you will be free to make… [Actually, I mean, why not keep going with that joke… ?
