The Church Beyond Race Part III - A Vision of the Church being the Change
<p>Linda Holdbrook did not see herself as a person to lead change, but when the recent racial conflict erupted she felt compelled to speak. As a young Black woman, an immigrant of African parents, and a faithful Catholic, Linda realized her voice mattered, and so penned a powerful letter to Bishop McGrattan sharing her vision for how the Church can be the change in today's conflicted world. In this episode of Finding Faith, we hear Linda tell us what she wrote in her letter to her bishop, and how she believes the church can be a leader in moving beyond race.</p> <p><br></p> <p>Credits:</p> <p>"I Have a Dream" speech, audio - Rev.

The Church Beyond Race Part II - Finding our Way back to Reconciliation
<p>John Snow was a Christian minister, and chief of Stoney Nakoda First Nation. Up until his death 10 years ago, he was writing the history of Christianity among his people, a faith he was deeply proud of. Today, his son Tony continues telling that story with a sense of urgency, about the rich relationship the church once had with his people, how we got lost and divided along the way, and what it will take to once again find the road to reconciliation we long to walk together. </p> <p>Music Credits:</p> <p>"I have decided to follow Jesus" - Virgle Stevens, Philomene Stevens, Cassandra Poucette and Benjamin Stevens; Shauna Kennedy and Lilia Chavez sound production.</p> <p>"Grace" - Bevani</p> <p>"Treat You Better" - Nakoda Elementary School; CBC sound production</p> <p>Note from Tony Snow:</p> <p>I made an error in the quote that I made regarding Dave Courchene in 1969.</p> <p>The quote I was referencing comes from "Around The Sacred Fire" by James Treat, speaking about Bob Thomas, a Cherokee Anthropologist who was one of the proponents to bring the Indian Ecumenical Conference to Morley:</p> <p>“Native people might well have chosen to incorporate Christian traditions into their religious world, Thomas speculated, but most tribal communities in North American have been denied the opportunity to control the natural process of integration. ‘In many Indian communities the church is like a huge crowbar crammed into a delicate machine,’ producing religious factionalism and social fragmentation. ‘Only the native people themselves can integrate a new religion and then use it to make life more consistent for themselves. An outsider cannot do this and usually only succeeds in doing the opposite.’ Invoking both American democracy and Christian social ethics, Thomas challenged church leaders to respect and encourage native religious self determination: ‘Indian communities must have control of their own churches with native leadership in the important institutional niches, so the church can in fact become a Kiowa or a Navajo institution, express this ‘Kiowaness’ or ‘Navajoness,’ be integrated into the life of the people, an be an integrative mechanism itself.” (pg. 107, Treat)</p>
