SUMMARY:Master Class on Canadian Indigenous Realities and the Canadian Church with Ray Aldred
DESCRIPTION:Course Description \nThe Residential School tragedy highlights the need for senior church leaders to examine the Church’s prevailing Indigenous perspectives and practices. This course aims at helping build a healthy respect for Indigenous identity as “other”\, neither vilifying or idealizing\, but seeking to become an ally. \nThroughout this six-class course\, you’ll explore the topics of Indigenous religion and spirituality (Indigenizing theology); treaties\, both ancient and contemporary (Indigenous Story and Land and the role of preaching); a brief history of the interaction between the Church and Indigenous Peoples (The Indigenous Christ); finally\, the history of reconciliation in Canada (Indigenous conceptions of identity and evangelism). Through this\, you’ll develop a healthy respect for Indigenous Peoples to help build a climate of collaboration within your life and community. \nThis course will help you: \nBegin to describe Indigenous spirituality in a respectful manner.\nExamine and critique the questions dominant society has used to explore Indigenous spirituality (i.e. are we being fair?).\nDevelop the ability to compare and contrast Indigenous spiritualities and perspectives.\nDocument the environmental\, cultural\, and historical influences shaping the relationship between Indigenous Peoples and Canadians.\nDiscuss ways of partnership between Indigenous Peoples and Canadian churches.\nIntegrate and articulate your own views of de-colonizing or Indigenizing identity.\nWorkshop a message series or ministry initiative with collaborative feedback.\nClass Schedule \nBe ready to learn every second Wednesday at 2-3:30 PM PDT / 5-6:30PM EDT on Zoom! \nFirst Class: Wednesday\, September 22 \nSecond Class: Wednesday\, October 6 \nThird Class: Wednesday\, October 20 \nFourth Class: Wednesday\, November 3 \nFifth Class: Wednesday\, November 17 \nSixth Class: Wednesday\, December 1 \nWho is this for? \nThis Master Class is designed for church leaders\, with an emphasis on those who lead ministry or engage with preaching and teaching.
