This Sunday's Service

October 11, 2026: Indiana, Land of the Indians

Dr. Stephanie Kimball and the Indigenous Studies Working Group

Euro-American and traditional indigenous attitudes toward land differ greatly: One sees it as property, as something to control and conquer; the other sees it as a partner, as something to nurture and live alongside. What can we learn from the latter?
