21.10 Mourning the 215 Children (Part 3)

In this, the third of four episodes on the horrific discovery of the bodies of 215 children buried in a mass grave in a Residential School in Kamloops, British Columbia, Craig and LaDonna Smith continue to provide biblical and historical context in response to this unimaginable tragedy.  They continue to unpackage  how the church that claims it represents Christ could deviate off course to such a degree that some of its own clergy could be guilty of unthinkable abuse that led to over 50,000 Indigenous children dying in these Residential Schools across Canada in these school's 125 plus year history.  These institutions were administered by several church groups, including primarily the Roman Catholic  and Anglican Church (Church of England).   But also in this episode the Smith's turn the corner and begin to offer perspective on how God sees such action, perpetrated in His Holy Name, and how He plans to deal with those, yes even those who claimed to represent Him in a clergy role, who committed such crimes against humanity.  They also offer some perspective on how we as Indigenous people need to approach this subject in a way that provides wholistic healing of heart and soul.  Don't forget there is one more episode coming in this series, and it's one you don't want to miss!  The Smiths are praying for you, as one of their listeners, that the God of all comfort will comfort you with His own broken and understanding heart, in a way only He can do.  Craig and LaDonna have experienced that heart, and they know you can, too!
