“Healing from ‘Lies that make us crazy’” by Elaine Enns and Ched Myers
Note: We are currently journeying with an association of Baptist churches as they move toward a vote on repudiating the Doctrine of Discovery, for which we provide an introductory resource here. This week’s recommended resource is “Healing from ‘Lies that make us crazy’: Practices of Restorative Solidatrity” written by Elaine Enns and Ched Myers.
Biblical scholars and faith-rooted activists Ched Meyers and Elaine Ens provide some theological reflection on the Doctrine of Discovery and propose ways forward for the church, including a framework they call “Restorative Solidarity.” Read on for a practical approach to resisting the Doctrine of Discovery and its impacts today. Whether you agree with their proposed strategies or not, what would you suggest as an alternative?
“Healing from ‘Lies that make us crazy’” is excerpted from Yours, Mine, Ours published by Mennonite Church Canada.
