Unsettling Worship

Preaching & Worship

“In this much-needed conversation about decolonizing—and revitalizing—worship in Canada and beyond, Sarah Travis both names the barriers to conciliation/reconciliation in reformed Christian worship and argues for the need to engage indigenous ways of knowing. She encourages settler/dominant culture communities to face the legacy of colonization head on, especially the residual hurt and pain of residential schools, with humble, practical suggestions, and an ethics of shalom that foregrounds the prophetic role of worship.”
