| Summary: | The awareness of their violent history with Indigenous peoples is compelling the mainline Christian churches to radically rethink the future of their relationships at a global scale.

Theology has an important role to contribute to this process. As the churches seek new paths for the future, the task of decolonization will be a long-term and challenging journey. |
