Table Talk: Truth & Reconciliation
The Truth and Reconciliation Commission of Canada was created through a legal settlement between Indigenous communities, the federal government, and churches to inform Canadians about what happened in residential schools. It started a conversation about the relationship between the Indigenous Peoples and the settlers who colonized this land by acts of “cultural genocide,” and it points forward to acts of reconciliation between those communities. How do these truths, and the various calls to action outlined in the report, affect us as a church, and as followers of Jesus?
