Journey to Respect: Indigenous Spiritualities and the Church

Tuesday, September 29, 1:00 to 2:30 p.m. Eastern Time, Online via Zoom 

This month, Captain Crystal Porter will lead a workshop exploring the impact of Christianity on Indigenous peoples and how this history has shaped the wider body of Christ.

 Drawing on Acts 15 and 1 Corinthians 12, we will reflect on the mission of the church and consider how culture and faith can work together in healthy and respectful ways.

The session will also explore how these insights can shape the way we work in community and contribute to a stronger, more diverse ministry.
