TODAY'S GUEST is Edward Buri, Kenyan pastor, columnist, television host and founder of the Institute of Ethics and Youth Affairs. Along with pastoring a congregation within the Presbyterian Church of East Africa, Edward Buri writes a weekly column for one of the leading newspapers in Kenya, and hosts a program called “Hope TV,” which is the leading Christian media house in Kenya, and through these platforms champions good values as well as youth advocacy.Buri [pronounced Furi], as he is known, was a bright light on the Princeton Theological Seminary campus in the early 2000s, when our paths converged for a few years, and Buri was one of those people I always felt grateful to have met. Buri has an infectious smile, a friendly sense of humor, a wise heart and a reflective mind. And, he has the most lovely singing voice – I still remember his powerful solos ringing out at our seminary choir concerts. I wanted to get in touch with Buri to hear about the role of the Psalms in his life, what they mean to his community, and what his thoughts are on the connections between spirituality and resilience from his life experience and the context of Kenya. In this conversation, which we had over the winter, we talk about the importance of recognizing each other in our humanity and how the Psalms help us do that; about how God continually calls us to a home where we can be restored to a divine joy and laughter in that place of belonging; how God is big enough to hear it all, and wants to come into the mud of our lives, in gumboots, and be alongside us in it; and how the Psalms give us language for our pain, and also our hope and our hallelujahs.So whatever it is that brought you here, I'm glad you're with us.Click Here for Episode Notes Subscribe to my newsletter, Bless My Feet - where you'll get allll the updates on what's coming up… retreats, pilgrimages, concerts, and a monthly reflection and blessing from me each month.

She was pushed out of a general coach of the train by hooligans wanting to snatch her bag and gold chain for personal favours. Recounting the incident, she said: I resisted and they pushed me out of the train. I could not move. I remember seeing a train coming towards me. I tried getting up. By then, the train had run over my leg. I don't remember anything after that. Immediately, as she fell on the railway track, another train on a parallel track crushed her leg below the knee. She was rushed to the hospital[12] with serious leg and pelvic injuries and lost her leg after doctors amputated it to save her life She was offered compensation of ₹25,000 (US$330) by the Indian Sports Ministry. Following national outrage, the Minister of State for Youth Affairs and Sports Ajay Maken announced an additional Rs. ₹200,000 (US$2,600) compensation as medical relief, together with a recommendation for a job in the CISF. The Indian Railways also offered her a job.[15] On 18 April 2011, she was brought to the All India Institute of Medical Sciences[16] for further treatment, spending four months at the institute.[17] She was provided a prosthetic leg free of cost by a private Delhi-based Indian company.[18] An inquiry by the police into the incident threw her version of the accident into doubt. According to the police, she was either attempting suicide or met with an accident while crossing the railway tracks. Arunima claimed that the police were lying. Contrary to the police claims the Lucknow bench of Allahabad high court ordered Indian Railways to pay a compensation of ₹500,000 (US$6,600) to Arunima Sinha. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/greatideasgreatlife/message

Co-design goes beyond traditional methods of consultation and instead forms authentic partnerships with stakeholders, including lived experience. This approach utilises knowledge and experience to develop, design and deliver a more successful program, product, or service. This week's guest Katherine Ellis is CEO of Youth Affairs Council Victoria (YACVic), the peak body and leading advocate for young people and the youth sector in Victoria. Katherine's previous roles include Director of Youth Affairs at the Commonwealth of Nations, working on youth policy and programs across 53 countries: and CEO of youth development organisation the Reach Foundation. Earlier, she spent over a decade in the private sector, working both in Australia and internationally in a variety of analysis, strategy, and corporate social responsibility roles. Katherine believes that it is vitally important to recognise young people as experts in their own lives, and make sure their unique needs and perspectives are at the heart of the policies, decisions and programs that affect them. Stay tuned as Katherine joins me to discuss the vital elements of co-design, and how working with young people can vastly improve the way we approach and improve mental health care for future generations.

Former Cabinet Minister and Auckland mayoralty hopeful John Tamihere is running for Parliament – and has started his campaign with a hit at the Government and Labour's 13 Māori MPs.Tamihere has been confirmed as the Māori Party's candidate for the Tāmaki Makaurau electorate in September's general election. The seat is held by Whānau Ora Minister Peeni Henare.Tamihere was last in Parliament 15 years ago, when he lost the seat to then Māori Party co-leader Sir Pita Sharples.In an exclusive interview with the Herald on Sunday, the 61-year-old said he decided to launch his political comeback because he believed the Labour Party's 13 Māori MPs had been silenced over major issues facing Māoridom; including Ihumātao and Whānau Ora funding.John Tamihere speaking at Mataatua Marae yesterday when he was confirmed as a candidate for the upcoming election. New Zealand Herald photograph / Brett Phibbs"I did not anticipate them being assimilated so early and contained so much," Tamihere said. "We no longer have a voice. It has been assimilated, subsumed and subjugated."The day that your advocates have been subjugated, their voice has been muffled into silence, then you no longer have any Māori advocacy."When told his former broadcasting colleague and Labour Party MP Willie Jackson would have a different take on Tamihere's views, he responded: "Well we have ex-mates and ex-cousins, and he [Jackson] is both."Tamihere was in Parliament between 1999-2005, including as Cabinet minister in Helen Clark's Government; holding the portfolios of Small Business, Youth Affairs, Statistics and Land Information.He resigned those posts in late 2004 after facing allegations surrounding financial dealings. Investigations, including one by the Serious Fraud Office, cleared him of any wrongdoing.Last year he unsuccessfully stood for the Auckland mayoralty, losing to incumbent Phil Goff by almost 100,000 votes.When asked why he wanted to have another crack at becoming an MP, Tamihere said: "Because you are a long time dead".Running for Parliament had not entered his mind during or immediately after his bid for the mayoralty, Tamihere said.He vowed he would offer an "unfettered, authentic Māori voice".Not only is Tamihere trying to resurrect his own political career, but so too is the party he is standing for.The Māori Party exited Parliament at the 2017 general election when it received just 1.2 per cent of the MMP party vote and failed to win an electorate seat.Tamihere believed there would be enough support within Māori for the party to return to Parliament on September 19, saying there was increased frustration in the way the Government was addressing critical issues such as Whānau Ora.The Government gave it an $80 million funding boost over four years in the 2019 Budget.But late last year several respected Māori leaders went public with their frustrations that some of that money was being used by non-Whānau Ora bodies.John Tamihere, centre, pictured with Sir Pita Sharples, Dame Tariana Turia, Rangi McLean, Dame Naida Glavish and Kaapua Smith yesterday. New Zealand Herald photograph / Brett PhibbsThat opposition included Whānau Ora's North Island commission agency chair Merepeka Raukawa-Tait, Dame Naida Glavish, Dame Tariana Turia, Lady Tureiti Moxon and Dame Iritana Tawhiwhirangi, who wrote to PM Jacinda Ardern about it."Our negative social indicators need addressing and the only policy that works for that is Whānau Ora," Tamihere said."If this Government continues to destroy a programme that could lead to generational changes that mean we deliver positive and progressive Māori citizens, well, then you have to fight," he added."What Māori want, like all people, is decent health, welfare, education and housing. We are not getting a fair shake on social housing and kids require a base."The wrangle over Whānau Ora funding and the fact Labour secured all seven Māori electorates in 2017 would lead to "tension" on the campaign tr...
