Exploring Indigenous Theology:
Two-Eyed Seeing, Vision Quests, and Sacred Stories
A Saturday morning workshop offered by The Rev. Canon Mary Crist, Ed.D. (Blackfeet)
SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 17, 2022, 9:30 A.M.–12:30 P.M., in person in Bloedel Hall or online via Zoom.
Free, but registration required for either option. Co-sponsored by Saint Mark’s Cathedral and the Office of the Bishop of the Diocese of Olympia.
Dr. Crist extends this invitation to join the workshop:
“Did you know that the Episcopal Church has over 400 years of history with Indigenous people in north America? Did you know that many Indigenous spiritual beliefs are compatible with those of Jesus? How can we make it possible for Indigenous people to be Christians and to honor the spiritual practices of their ancestors at the same time? How can we use “two-eyed” seeing, vision quests, and sacred stories to explore Indigenous theology? We will explore these questions and others in our time together. Participants will learn what Indigenous leaders in the Episcopal Church have to say about being both Native and Christian and how theological education is expanding to broaden the preparation of church leaders. Bring your own stories and questions to share in this workshop grounded in the narrative tradition.”\
