2.         Join a February bookclub on Unsettling the Word 

How might we read the Bible so that it can be an instrument of reconciliation and decolonization? In partnership with the New Leaf Network, Mennonite Church Canada’s Indigenous-Settler Relations is co-hosting a four-week book club on Unsettling the Word: Biblical Experiments in Decolonization. Join editor Steve Heinrichs, along with Indigenous authors and activists Cheryl Bear and Sylvia McAdam, for life-giving conversations on justice, faith, reparations, and healing. Borrow or order the book through CommonWord. For more info, and to register, click here.

3.         After years of Indigenous-led advocacy, the Government of Canada tabled federal legislation on Dec. 3, 2020, to implement the UN Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples (UNDRIP). This is significant. But what does it mean? The following is an introductory list of resources that can help communities understand what Bill C-15 is, and the diverse conversations that surround it. See www.commonword.ca/go/2217.
