Session 4
Sunday, June 13 7:00pm – 8:30pm In honor of National Indigenous Day – Evening Event: Walking Together in Silent Prayer
This interactive and prayerful workshop will focus on the relationship between the church and Indigenous people in Canada. Our goal is to reconcile ourselves to the truths of that relationship that are complex and sometimes contradictory. Part history lesson, part lesson of the heart, we will explore how we, as Christians, can let go of the struggle to accept these truths, and how we can prayerfully work to open ourselves to new, and renewed, relationships with Indigenous people.
Facilitated by Mary-Ellen Kelm and Katherine Murray.
Registration: $50, scholarships available (If you need a scholarship, please contact st.dunstans@telus.net before registering).
Registration is closed
