How To Write A Land Acknowledgement For Your Parish
As the Episcopal Church continue the healing work of reconciliation with our Native American siblings, an important understanding is to acknowledge all of our church buildings sit on Native Land. This post from Building Faith explains the importance of Land Acknowledgments and why your parish should in engage in the work. In addition the post provides examples and important areas to cover.
Again, this is important work as it falls in line with the promises we make through our Baptismal Covenant. We must always seek and serve Christ in all persons and respect the dignity of every human being! Writing a Land Acknowledgment with Your Parish offers concrete ways to engage congregations and organizations in this important work.
