What can the Church do about what the Church has done? This one-off talk aims to name and challenge common assumptions Christians make about race, and racism in Canada’s Church. It gives examples where Christians participated in, and tried to overturn, systemic racism, with a focus on Canada’s indigenous peoples in residential schools. Christ cannot be made to endorse racism, and this is a call to the Church to practice caring proximity, to repent of white supremacy, and bring the wounds of history into the light, so that reconciliation can take place.
