SUMMARY:Understanding Indigenous People Workshops
DESCRIPTION:Many people who are non-Indigenous don’t always feel they have a safe place to discuss the issues tied to understanding Indigenous peoples more\, spaces to ask honest questions. \nThis is why the Understanding Indigenous People Workshops are being held. In these online workshops\, we will discuss the last 500 years of North American history. We will see the impact of spending more time listening than talking as we engage with Indigenous peoples. We will learn the ways the academic community uses the terms colonialism and ethnocentrism when describing the last 500 years in North America. And we will learn the impact of colonialism and ethnocentrism on Native peoples\, people God has called the Church to reach with the Great Commission. \nAll these topics\, and more\, will be presented and discussed in a safe learning environment. Our goal is to grow in our understanding of our Indigenous neighbor\, that we might love them the way Christ has called us to in the Great Commandment. Your questions are not merely welcome\, they are coveted. \nThe workshops will take place on Tuesdays at 5:00 p.m. Pacific / 8:00 p.m. Eastern every two weeks starting in October. They will be led by Parry Stelter\, a Bible teacher\, author\, speaker\, workshop facilitator\, chaplain\, and ambassador of Jesus Christ\, as well as ambassador of his fellow Indigenous people. He is originally from Alexander First Nation\, which is part of Treaty Six Territory in the province of Alberta\, Canada. \nWorkshop Days\n\nOctober 10\nOctober 24\nNovember 7\nNovember 21\n\n  \nRegister for the Workshops

SUMMARY:When Church Stops Working
DESCRIPTION:Andrew Root is a professor at Luther Seminary in St. Paul\, Minnesota. A former youth pastor\, Root has a firm grasp on both academics and the way in which we the church need to relate to the current generation of our culture. His six-volume\, scholarly series on the church in a secular age has drawn wonderful reviews\, but many of us need a more simplified version\, so he wrote When Church Stops Working. This is an outstanding book that gets at the issues we the church are facing in the first part of the 21st century. \nWe are privileged to have Andrew Root spend time with us on a webinar dealing with the issues that are keeping us from joining with God on mission. He is an excellent communicator and writer\, and our time with him will be well worth it. If you are struggling to see the way forward\, or feel exhausted from dealing with ministry issues\, this webinar will have some encouraging words for you. \nThis webinar will be co-hosted by the NAB and Forge Canada. \nJoin us for this hour-long discussion with Andrew Root on his book\, the church\, what we are doing wrong\, and how we might correct course. \nThis webinar takes place October 26\, 12:00 p.m. Pacific. Register below. \nRegister for the Webinar
