A promising Christ-walk

Thanks for an excellent issue on The Path to Healing: Sharing the Pain of Residential Schools (February). I appreciated the comprehensive historical overview and the detailed descriptions of our current ministries to and among aboriginal peoples. Readers are left with the feeling that though this was and is a sorrowful chapter in our church's history, nevertheless we are facing up to that experience with a truly gospel response through the confession of our complicity, compensation and practical ways of expressing our desire to walk together towards healing and reconciliation. The foundations for a new and partnered ministry are being laid in a relationship of trust building and for all of this we give thanks to God. It all makes the journey through Lent this year a much more promising Christ-walk.
