Fall 2023 Courses: October 16-November 3

Truth, Reconciliation, and Exchanging Hearts: A Canadian Model

This course is an introduction to Hearts Exchanged and is a learning and action journey designed to equip Reformed Christians to engage with Indigenous people as neighbors and fellow image-bearers. Hearts Exchanged is a broader initiative of the CRC in Canada focused on community accountability to the kairos-call of the Truth and Reconciliation Commission. Students will be invited to formation for contextualized ministry by learning about Indigenous stories, practices and treaty traditions, as well as the critical consideration of historical interactions between Indigenous peoples and settlers. Students will then reflect on the gifts and responsibilities of contemporary reconciliation efforts. Transformation of heart and mind comes through encounters with the genius of Indigenous ways of being, honest dialogue about the harms of colonialism, and the presence of ‘hearts broken’ stories and experiences. This learning journey is preparation for relationships with Indigenous communities that are marked by mutual respect and reciprocity.

Instructors: Adrian Jacobs, Cindy Stover and Mike Hogeterp

Format: Fully online with synchronous meetings on October 16 (1-2:30 PM EDT), October 20 (1-2:30 PM EDT), October 27 (12:30-3:30 EDT), and November 3 (12:30-3:30 EDT)
