The mass grave of children at the Kamloops residential school site has properly caused an intense public reaction.  Better understanding our personal, institutional and national responsibilities was the central part of our Wednesday morning gathering, and will be part of our next Sunday services.  These links may help you learn more, and we will add other links that we believe are powerful and useful.
