![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Living and working to bring a sense of Christ’s call to love to an institution that often fell off the Way. Apparently the methods (crusade and conquest) were ok, it was the theological underpinning that caused concern.Īt the same time the church has always contained a core of subversives. In myopic conflation of church with empire our Protestant forefathers hadn’t moved that far off their roots. I know the harm caused by the church as it leapt to ‘save souls’ at the cost of minds, bodies and culture. Understanding met the reality of my wardrobe, which had never included a clergy shirt. The effects on Residential School survivors would be traumatizing. When I participated in my first ‘Understanding the Village” workshop with Cowichan Tribes Elders I was cautioned against wearing ‘clergy’ gear.
