There is hardly a person in Canada, thanks to the historic Truth & Reconciliation Commission (2009-2015), who doesn’t know something about the tragic history and legacy of our country’s Indian Residential Schools and their ongoing effects on First Nations communities and peoples.
But there is hardly a person in Canada who knows what to do next.
In this free lecture and discussion, professor, author, and former pastor Mark Buchanan will speak about his own experience in trying to address Canada’s, and especially the Canadian church’s, historic wrongs committed against First Peoples, and will specifically explore ways that churches and Christians might respond to the Calls to Action that emerged from the TRC. A time for questions will follow.
