- Title
Churches and Theology in Canada after Residential Schools: The Difficult Path of Truth, Reparation and Decolonization.
- Authors
ROUSSEL, JEAN-FRANÇOIS
- Abstract
By highlighting the violent and genocidal dimensions of the Canadian Residential School system - a century-long partnership between the government and the churches - the Truth and Reconciliation Commission of Canada held the churches accountable and challenged them to make reparations to indigenous peoples. Meanwhile, the churches have lost their influence in society and are impoverished as a result. This article examines the challenge for the churches and for theology in this new situation.
