hOPE & hEALING: eNGAGING INDIGENOUS COSMOLOGIES & THE GOSPEL IN ACTION

On October 17, in partnership with Episcopal Divinity School and as a part of the Diocese of Northern Michigan’s annual Diocesan Convention, join Sarah Augustine and Sheri Hostetler, co-founders of the Coalition to Dismantle the Doctrine of Discovery and authors of So We and Our Children May Live: Following Jesus in Confronting the Climate Crisis for a day-long, participatory workshop.

This workshop will guide you in embodying the dismantlement of the Doctrine of Discovery through hopeful and creative practice. We will engage with both the Gospel and Indigenous cosmologies, working in community towards restoration and healing.

Throughout the day, you will:

  • Co-identify an Economy of Life

This workshop is designed for hands-on engagement, featuring working table groups throughout the day to help you identify actions and commitments, encounter fellow community members, and commit to action and communal accountability.

Time: 9:30-4:30, lunch provided

Location: Terrace Bay Hotel, Gladstone, Michigan

We are a group of Christians gathered.  We believe that every person is made in the image of God–beautiful, unique and beloved.  The Baptismal Covenant is part of the fabric of our lives together. In that spirit, we seek and serve Christ in all persons, loving our neighbors as ourselves. We are a community of advocates who strive for justice and peace among all people, and respect the dignity of every human being.

Our lives are made rich by the people in our congregations and in our communities, including those of other faiths and belief systems, orientations, ethnicities, and identifications. 

Our message to you is simple, but heartfelt:  God Loves You. No Exceptions.
