Reconciliation Done Right

May 9, 2022 · 01:00:00

This seminar will focus on the importance of relationship-building between Indigenous and Non-Indigenous people in Canada and how we as followers of Christ can move towards right relationship with one another. It will focus on what “homecoming” means to Indigenous people as it relates to the land and past atrocities that have taken place against Indigenous people. We all have a need to belong and be loved and this is something that has been a core issue for Indigenous people in Canada with current consequences we see in various ways stemming from the past. Reconciliation has historically been done poorly. So what can we do to help do it in a God-honouring and loving way that focuses on relationship? Let’s zoom in on practical ways to build those relationships and change our mindset toward what evangelism and reconciliation is.
