It's a vital part of my community and so many others. I have hope that great changes in the way we view the residential schools will come from within the church itself, through people like your sister.S.M.

However, I told my sister about the documentary and that's where you might gain a little more grassroots support. Colleen is very involved in the United Church and has been for years. She has her MDiv and is completing her credentials to be a therapist (counsellor). Her ex is a U.C. minister (who was serving in Whistler, BC until just a few years ago). She was shocked when I told her about this documentary because in spite of her deep involvement (with presbytery), she had never heard of anything like this. Even in spite of being a part of a healing circle with our First Nations ladies here and hearing their stories. She is not afraid of conflict and I am certain will bring this issue more to light here with the powers that be.Jeanniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15320507412459242451noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3996844957940107510.post-4537436457439944142008-07-03T19:34:00.000-07:002008-07-03T19:34:00.000-07:00I'm proud of you!I'm proud of you!tshsmomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08637635755654078408noreply@blogger.com
