Clip description

Gordon Syron and Elaine Pelot-Kitchener discuss their forthcoming wedding arrangements. The issue of a Christian pastor is a contentious one.

Curator’s notes

An interesting conversation between the soon to be newlyweds, and one that highlights the fact that Indigenous cultural belief systems are also religious. Syron is adamant that what he refers to as the Dreamtime is a belief system that is every bit as valid as Christianity.
