January 2026
Kia ora and greetings,
I hope you had a good start into the New Year. The year 2026 will see several important anniversaries, including 150 years since the first words were transmitted over a telephone by Graham Bell. From operators to public phones and landlines to mobile phones which are today devices of many ways of communication – and often not even used for traditional calls…
Thank you for your encouraging messages about our events and recordings in 2025.
As it has become a tradition, I have put together some snippets of last year’s recordings and produced a YouTube of 29min. The title picture shows the pictures of the guests’ whose contributions I have used for this special Muffin Talk. I hope you will enjoy the selection.
Further resources available are:
• Playlists on the Titipounamu Study & Joy YouTube channel to make it easier for you to listen to various interviews of the same category.
• News & Views where you can read reports, articles or opinion pieces.
• Reflections on the Sunday Readings.
If you are looking for something in particular, please enter a key word in the magnifying glass symbol on the top right of the website.
