Moderator Carmen Lansdowne: Commemorate Orange Shirt Day September 30
Channel: The United Church of Canada
Date: 12/09/2023

Moderator Carmen Lansdowne urges us to commemorate the National Day for Truth and Reconciliation, also known as Orange Shirt Day, on September 30. This is a day to reflect, pray, and learn, and to honour survivors, their families, and the communities affected by the legacy of the so-called Indian Residential Schools and those who operated them. For non-Indigenous Christians in particular, this is a time to reflect on their role in colonialism and the ongoing responsibility to make reparations.

Find out more about Orange Shirt Day activities, and mark September 30 within your community of faith. See: https://united-church.ca/social-action/act-now/honour-children-who-attended-residential-schools.
