Wisdom Talks: Walking Together
As North American Christians, many of us struggle to understand how our Christian worldview intersects with an Indigenous worldview. How different are our worldviews really? What do we have in common? What should our role be in truth and reconciliation with our Indigenous neighbours?
If you’ve ever asked these questions, then join us for a conversation with Terry Wildman, writer of The First Nations Version New Testament, a cultural translation in English, by and for the Indigenous Peoples of North America.
Singer songwriter, Brian Doerksen, will be providing music for this evening.
Terry Wildman is the Chief Director of Rain Ministries. He and his wife Darlene live in Maricopa, Arizona. Since 1998, they have been actively involved in the lives of Native North Americans. They founded Rain Ministries in 2002 as an Arizona non-profit organization whose primary purpose is to encourage Indigenous Peoples to realize and fulfill the destiny the Creator has given them through his Son, Jesus Christ and to encourage and facilitate reconciliation between Christian churches and First Nations people.
Brian is a songwriter, recording artist and songwriting instructor (founder of “Unlocking Your Songs”), but most of all he loves spending time with his high-school sweetheart Joyce (they have been married for 38 years.) His songs are known and sung internationally in faith communities of all kinds including “Come Now is the Time to Worship,” “Refiner’s Fire,” “Hope Of The Nations,” and “The River.”
