Our host Chris Orme introduces you to the theme of this season of the podcast. Stay tuned for episodes from great guests. “But Esau ran to meet him and embraced him and fell on his neck and kissed him, and they wept.” Genesis 33:4 Ray Orlund reflects that this verse has often struck him as one of the most beautiful in the Bible. “We all feel the power of it. When we see ex-friends reconciling, so removing every barrier that they run and embrace and fall on one another’s necks—I love that expression—and weep, the beauty of it gets to us. Not a negotiated settlement. No face-saving hypocrisy. Honest. Unforced. Deeply felt. We all perceive true reconciliation with awe. It is of God.” This is why we’re so excited to reflect on healing rifts in this season of the Do Justice podcast.…

September 30th 2021 marks the first National Day of Truth and Reconciliation in Canada. It coincides with Orange Shirt Day, a grassroots commemoration marked by the wearing of Orange Shirts for children forced to leave their families and attend residential schools. This reflection is designed to take approximately an hour and we recommend that you take space to listen and reflect. You will be guided through three calls to action from the Truth and Reconciliation Commission with prayer and reflection prompts. Engage in this podcast in the way that allows you to fully immerse yourself in this material: find time in the day when you can walk in solitude and listen, or enjoy a beautiful drive while you reflect. Curl up in your favourite chair to draw and journal while you connect with this podcast. Follow along in the written version at this link. The reflection questions are also written there. https://dojustice.crcna.org/article/reflections-national-truth-and-reconciliation-day We are thankful for the music in this episode created by Indigenous songwriters Cheryl Bear and Jonathan Maracle and used with permission.
