As a Christian I would like to apologize to two-spirit women and men, and to the broader Indigenous communities, for the pervasive and long-term oppression and attempted destruction of who you are, particularly by Christians. This is not the way of Jesus and I am deeply sorry and grieved.
I cannot undo the past but I commit to listening to your stories, acknowledging wrongdoing, increasing awareness in the circles I move in, opening spaces for you to speak and teach us, and working together for a better today and tomorrow.
If you are two-spirit or transgender, you are a gift from the Creator. You are beautiful and the world is incomplete without you.Want to learn more about two-spirit and what that means?
This video is a great introduction.
