The strength Tom Poata brings to St Faith’s Church is his humour and the way he connects with whanau who’ve said after being at service at the marae they’d attend karakia regularly just to hear him and have a laugh.
In this series of Ngā Tāngata Taumata Rau – Aotearoa, Mere McLean, Stephanie Tibble & Maria Huata unravel wonderful characters, anecdotes and Māori practices.
