Truth & Reconciliation

Our church leadership takes Truth and Reconciliation as a responsibility.

At St. Stephen’s, we believe we owe our congregation, current and past, a clear understanding of our Indigenous relationships, either supportive or harmful. We can then celebrate inclusive outreach and/or assess harmful interaction, if that occurred and then make sincere, appropriate amends.  We will search church historic archives from our beginnings in 1906 to today to contribute to a meaningful dialogue about our connection with the Original Peoples.

From time-to-time essays will be published for your assessment as our research yields information and calls for action.
