ELCA Truth & Healing Movement

Over the next few months, the ELCA will provide opportunities to learn the history and realities of Indigenous people, in hopes of bringing healing to both Indigenous and non-Indigenous people. Some opportunities will be calls to individual action and there will be others that congregations and small groups can participate in together. Here are some upcoming activities to consider:
  • “Read the Truth in June” – consider reading a book written by a Native author and hosting a book discussion
  • June 7 – Native Nations: Standing Together for Civil Rights – one-hour documentary
  • June 21 – Panel Presentation with National Indian Lutheran Board
  • June 23 – Intro to the Truth & Healing Movement
Descriptions and links for the Truth & Healing Movement are posted on the ELCA's website

In July, Christ the King will be offering a discussion of The Four Vision Quests of Jesus by Steven Charleston, New York: Morehouse Publishing; 2015. Look for more information on the Racial Justice Team page later in June.
