Decolonize Church: 11.22.20
This sermon series, Decolonize Church is intentionally chosen during the month of November, Indigenous People's month. We give thanks to the MUSKOGEE, the CREEK, the first people of this land. We offer our respect to those ancestors who may be interred in this land. We are also thankful for the gifts of the People of the land. We hope that this service leads us to reconcile the mistreatment of this land and to those who have been displaced. This series is centered on the roots of colonialism in the western Christian Church, not to simply highlight historical wrongs, but to make the move from deconstructing racist roots toward a constructive faith and church moving toward generative and liberative future
