There is a long history of ministry by The Episcopal Church in serving Indigenous people across the United States. We now have bishops, priests, deacons, and elected lay leaders, who have Indigenous roots. You can be a faithful Christian and honor your Native American heritage.
Consider the "A Disciple's Prayer Book." It provides an excellent way of encountering Christ within the sacred circle of the Gospel and with one another.
We are using the "First Nations Version: An Indigenous Translation of the New Testament" as part of our Sunday Bible Study discussion, and it has opened wonderful new ways of understanding Holy Scripture. Join us in person or online at 9:30 a.m. (to receive the online Zoom link, email us at: office@oursaviourky.org)
"The Four Vision Quests of Jesus" by Steven Charleston, was used by the ECOS Contemplative Prayer Group.
