The ELCA’s Truth & Healing Movement is an opportunity for this church to increase our understanding of our colonizing impacts on Indigenous people in the past and present. Over the next several months, there will be opportunities to learn, raise awareness and engage in other ways to impact hearts and lives across this church. We believe that the truth, and our knowing and embracing it, is the first step toward healing for all of us.
Visit the Truth and Healing Movement page to learn more, get involved and share the Truth and Healing movement with others. Follow our ELCA and Living Lutheran social media channels for more stories and updates.
If you are looking for a video to watch and then have discussion as an adult forum or Bible Study or one of your book groups is taking a break this summer, check out the recordings on the Truth and Healing Movement resource page.
Pro tip: follow the tribe closest to you on social media or subscribe to their e-newsletter. Ask about attending their community events and then attend and start the long important work of relationship building. Thanks to all of you that have already begun this work. Don’t be shy; share your story with the synod staff.
