The Truth and Reconciliation Commission’s Calls to Action – and me!
March 6th – April 17th 2017 Instructor David Phillips
This course is intended to help students understand our denomination’s involvement with residential schools, intended or not, in destroying indigenous culture. The course will focus on learning about our complicity and how we today might as a church respond to the Truth and Reconciliation’s Calls for Action as it specifically relates to congregations and be actively involved together with our indigenous brothers and sisters in reconciliation.
