Truth and Reconciliation
Caledon East: Collaboration in Ministry
Truth and Reconciliation
Our organizing takes place on Petun, Haudenosaunee, Anishinabewaki, Mississaugas of the Credit First Nation, Mississaugas land of Treaty 19, 1818.
We honour the United Church’s commitment to the Truth & Reconciliation Commission and seek ways to live out our part in creating right relations. We continue to find ways to lift up Indigenous, First Nation, Métis, and Inuit voices/stories in our time together. We lament, the way our denomination has been involved in residential schools and we seek to live into our apology. One way we do this is by acknowledging the territorial lands we occupy for worship. We are working on decolonizing our worship and experience of God.
