Late At The Museum: Innovate Faith

Smart Talk: Finlay Macdonald, Sir Lloyd Geering

Auckland Museum is ending its Late: Innovation series with a conversation with world-renowned theologian Sir Lloyd Geering, who at 92 is still encouraging people to re-think the way “faith” is framed in the modern world.

Sir Lloyd Geering is many things: he’s an ordained Presbyterian minister, a prolific author, a distinguished academic, and a public figure of some renown – in 1988 he was made a Companion of the British Empire, and in 2001 he topped New Zealand’s New Year’s Honours list, being made a Principal Companion of the New Zealand Order of Merit.

He’s also a progressive thinker whose work has been the subject of a good deal of controversy.

Great music:
Music entertainment will be curated by Mike Chunn (Play it Strange) on the night and audiences will be treated to performances in gallery spaces around the Museum from him and his son as well as veteran rocker Jordan Luck, Annah Mac, and young musicians from ACG College, Kaipara College, Western Springs College and Papatoetoe High School Girls.

Annah Mac, who won the songwriting competition at 15 and has since signed an exclusive four-album recording contract with Sony BMG, will perform four songs.
