Our Story in Our Language

Join Susie McPherson Derendy and Adrian Jacobs of Sandy-Saulteaux Spiritual Centre, for a monthly conversation exploring what community leadership training means for Indigenous communities of faith. The buried history of colonialism has been revealed in unmarked graves at Indian Residential Schools. The recovery of Indigenous languages and cultures is what living out the apologies looks like. 

“Colonialism took community control away from us and placed it in a colonial center of authority. Recovery from colonialism is our path moving forward. We will determine an Indigenous Testamur, a training program for ministry preparation, that will help our leaders be competent as the healers and helpers our communities are crying out for.”  - Calls to the Church by the Caretakers of Our Indigenous Circle 

Listen in and perhaps offer a story from your experience for the journey we’re on to honour our languages and our cultures and to say who we are and where we’re going.
