June is National Indigenous History Month

National Indigenous History month will focus our attention to deepen our commitments and actions toward justice and reconciliation within the United Church of Canada, and within our communities.

Four evenings, listening together

This four-session series will highlight the Calls to the Church approved at the 2018 General Council. The Calls to the Church document articulates the Indigenous Church’s vision for the ongoing development of Indigenous Peoples’ mission and ministry and communities of faith within The United Church of Canada. It outlines pathways for the whole church to continue to walk in the Spirit of Christ toward justice, healing, and reconciliation. 

The Calls to the Church emerged from a process of discernment by the Indigenous church as The United Church of Canada discerned a way forward, following the Truth and Reconciliation Commission’s Calls to Action, and as a part of a comprehensive review within the United Church.
