What kind of rubbish have you seen along the river?

Libby Totton Reporter from Waikato Times

The tide of rubbish shows no signs of ebbing. Everything from food packaging and drink cans to supermarket trolleys and Lime scooters litter the banks of the Waikato River where it flows through Hamilton.

The course takes place on Wednesday nights 7:00-8:30pm beginning on 31 July 2024. This is a History and Religious Studies course designed towards learning more about the complex history and context of the Middle-East and the rise of early Judaism and the emergence of Christianity. More specifically, this 6-week course examines the religio-cultural matrix spanning Ancient Israel, Greek & Roman rule, through the destruction of the Second Temple. This period produced Judaism, Jesus and the earliest Jesus movement prior to the emergence of a new religion called Christianity. It was an era of rapid religious change and uncertainty, massive cultural clashes and unending political turmoil, yet it was also an era of great religious creativity and diversity.
