SUMMARY:Unmarked Graves Reading Group
DESCRIPTION:Our next Zoom meeting for the Unmarked graves Reading Group will be on Wed. August 27 7 pm CST (Saskatchewan). We’re focusing this time on pages 120-149 of the executive summary – please read before the meeting. We will begin with a time of reading short excerpts which have touched us\, with silence before we begin. \nWe intend to read and reflect on the Special Interlocutor’s Final Report\, starting with the Executive Summary\, in order to learn more about the missing and disappeared Indigenous children who never came home from IRS institutions. We want to learn about the Interlocutor’s recommendations on “identifying obligations that must be met to implement an Indigenous-led Reparations Framework for truth\, accountability\, justice and reconciliation.” Anyone is welcome to join via Zoom.

SUMMARY:Taste of Palestine 2: traditional food under occupation
DESCRIPTION:Photo by Gatsi\, via Canva. \nEnjoy learning (virtual) hands on about Palestinian traditional food\, and the realities of living and eating under military occupation or blockade. Claire Anastas will be our second host\, on November 2 at 10:30AM. She lives under military occupation on the West Bank and\, we hope\, will come to us live from there. \nPlease register here to get the Zoom link\, which will be sent automatically. Remember to check your email spam folder! \nWhy this event? Fall is harvest time throughout the Northern hemisphere\, and in Palestine and Israel\, the October olive harvest is a deeply important time for community\, culture\, and traditional food for the coming year. But it’s also a time where violence directed at Palestinian farmers spikes to new levels\, as radical Jewish settlers target olive trees and harvesters. The World Council of Churches offers extensive videos and photos in a special project launched last year\, and you can use these freely in your community of faith. \nNew for this year\, and accompanying our Taste events: The Palestine Service for Peace was created by the Saskatchewan and Ontario Taste of Palestine Group\, and compiled and edited by Ineke Medcalf. It’s available on YouTube- use freely in your worship services.
