THIS BOOKLET CONTAINS a compilation of articles that have been run in previous issues of Mosaic magazine, as well as other thoughts shared by CBM’s Indigenous Relations Specialist Cheryl Bear. Our hope is that this guide will be a clarion call to our Canadian Baptist church family to become “other”.

We, who have been reconciled to God, have been entrusted with the mandate of the reconcilers (2 Cor. 5:18), bringing together that which was previously separated, uniting divided pieces of the fabric of God’s plan. Too often, our refusal to become something other, to be totally changed is, in itself, our greatest obstacle to the restoration of ruptured relations.

We believe that the first step for God’s people to becoming the other is listening to one another so that a deeper understanding of the pain and brokenness might be attained. Thank you for taking this first step as we continue walking together in a good way with our Indigenous brothers and sisters.

CBM’s annual children’s educational mission resource gives kids the opportunity to learn about children in another part of the world through fun activities, crafts and games, Bible lessons, and to respond to God’s love through giving. Children will expand their notion of community in the world, and be moved to action.

CBM’s camp educational mission resource gives campers the opportunity to learn about and engage in meaningful discussions about global social issues such as poverty and justice through games, fun activities and crafts and how to respond through God’s love.
