Strengthening the Soul of Your Leadership with Ruth Haley Barton
Religion & Spirituality:Christianity
This season we are focusing on justice as an aspect of spiritual formation and we believe Lent to be the perfect season to explore this connection. Using A Just Passion: A Six-Week Lenten Journey, and the lectionary, we will look at various aspects of justice, its importance to God and why the modern church has often regrettably failed to live out God’s call to “do justice, love mercy, and walk humbly with the Lord.”
In week two, Ruth and Transforming Center team member Tina Harris sit down with Terry Wildman, translator of the First Nations Version of the New Testament. The three discuss the tragic impact colonialism has had on indigenous people, the part Christianity has played in it and how he sees the First Nations Version translation as an act of justice. Terry also reads his translation of the lectionary reading in his own voice. This conversation is incredibly powerful and insightful.
Lectionary scripture for this week:
Genesis 12:1-4a
Psalm 121
Romans 4:1-5, 13-17
John 3:1-10 or Matthew 17:1-9
Mentioned in this episode:
First Nations Version: An Indigenous Translation of the New Testament
