Healing Relationships Mired in Colonialism-Fri. 15:30

What might it look like for the church to live in right relationship with host peoples? We will explore ways in which Mennonite Church USA and Mennonite Church Canada are working in partnership with Native Americans and First Nations. Through stories, conversation, and questions, we will see why the church is called to speak the truth about our histories, how we are pursuing decolonized relationships, and the ways that this work gifts and challenges our faith communities.

Iris de León-Hartshorn, Mennonite Church USA, is director of Transformative Peacemaking.
Steve Heinrich, Mennonite Church Canada, is director of Indigenous Relations.
