Ep 10: Truth & Reconciliation - Special Episode

In this episode of The Canadian Reformer, we discuss some of the history of residential schools, land acknowledgments, the First Nations Version Bible, church arsons and a few other details Canadians need to know when thinking about Truth and Reconciliation Day. Pastor Tim Carson joins us to help us think Christianly through some of these topics.*Correction: The second excavation was not at Williams Lake but rather a former hospital site.
