During the three days, there were opportunities to engage with local Elders and Knowledge Keepers, and to receive traditional teachings by means of words, ceremony, prayer, dance, and song. All of it was directed towards listening to the voices and experiences of Indigenous followers of Jesus and appreciating more deeply what both the division and the unity of the churches means from those points of view.

We ask ourselves: “What is God calling us, as Canadian Christians, to do?” For if one member suffers, all suffer together with it; if one member is honoured, all rejoice together with it (I Corinthians 12:26). What is God calling us to do? Simply put: “Whatever we can, wherever we are.” Everyone has a role to play

In our world broken with division and conflict, an organization guided by love for Christ and a commitment to carrying out his work—and which seeks unity amid its own unparalleled diversity— is a thing of beauty.
