About this event

The “Epiphany” of January 6th at the U.S. Capitol challenges people of faith to go deeper in our struggle against White Supremacy in self and society. Elaine Enns and Ched Myers are seeking to exhume the roots of this pathology , to “reveal the full extent of the disease” (as Martin Luther King, Jr. put it almost 60 years ago) as settler colonialism. Their new book Healing Haunted Histories: A Settler Discipleship of Decolonization tackles the oldest and deepest injustices on the North American continent. How are our histories, landscapes, and communities haunted by past and continuing Indigenous dispossession, such that our land and spirits are thoroughly “occupied”? How might these wounds, woven into the fabric of our personal and political lives, be healed through an inward and outward journey of decolonization? The authors—longtime friends of Church of the Saviour—will share about their exploration of what has formed (and deformed) us as settlers. They will show how to examine our forebears’ immigrant travails and trauma; unknowing and complicity; and traditions of resilience and conscience. And they’ll suggest how communities of faith might transform our self-perceptions, lifeways and structures by practicing restorative solidarity and reparation.
