93. Chris Clarke - Hope, Open Hands, and Faith and Belief in Aotearoa
Update: 2024-05-26
Description
Chris Clarke is the CEO of the Wilberforce Foundation, having previously worked in leadership in the health sector, followed by leading World Vision NZ.
Chris and I begin by talking about his own journey, through business, into the health sector, and then into the world of non-profits, including his time with World Vision NZ. We talk about why he got into that work, and what he learned from those times.
We then discuss the study the Wilberforce Foundation commissioned into faith and belief in Aotearoa, New Zealand. We talk about some of the interesting results from the survey, and what they are telling the church about who we are and who we could be. There are some encouraging things, some very troubling things, and some things that should make the church sit up and notice, realising that change simply has to happen if the church is going to have anything to say to people in this country into the future.
Chris is an outstanding human, with a big heart, and a big dose of humility.
