The orange banner hanging in our sanctuary is a reminder of the Indigenous children who died in boarding schools. It is also a symbol of the church’s commitment to learn about the church’s role, repent of our sin, support the healing of the Indigenous community, and advocate for justice.The Department of the Interior released an investigative report today which lays the groundwork to address the trauma and legacy of federal Indian boarding school policies.
