Returning home: a tribute to loved ones lost

Join us with friends from across Turtle Island—and the world—here and on the NCI and Wawatay Radio networks for a special Gospel Jam in tribute to loved ones lost.

Gospel Jamborees have a long history in Indigenous communities, going back to a time when Indigenous peoples gathered to sing Christian hymns—as a means of coming together, praying for one another, worshipping God, spreading the Good News and also, as a means of faithful and courageous resistance to colonization. Within the Anglican Church of Canada, Gospel Jamborees have accompanied the Native Convocations/Sacred Circles as well as being used by communities and ministry areas to bring folks together for fellowship, encouragement, worship, community-building, support and fun. The last three General Synods have also featured Gospel Jamborees as ongoing acts of reconciliation and bridge-building.

This online jamboree was streamed on 12 June 2021; catch up or watch again below or on YouTube at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OSFbFBxNcXE
