Hearts Exchanged is all about going beyond the headlines into deep work that wrestles with how churches can become places of belonging and embrace God’s call to reconciliation with Indigenous neighbors in Canada.
Participants can sign up with their church or in a mixed cohort of Christians in their region. Typically cohorts start in the fall, so now is a great time to express interest.
“The Hearts Exchanged program has taught me a great deal about the histories of Canada, our continent, our society, and our church,” said Julia Verbrugge, a previous Hearts Exchanged participant. “Much of it isn’t pretty; however, it is so important to know and understand how we have to come to this place in history in order to repair relationships going forward. The Hearts Exchanged program has certainly opened my eyes and heart to see Indigenous peoples and the history of Canada with a new perspective.”
