Dear Friends,

Christ is risen! Christ is risen indeed! Alleluia!

Today at 10am MST in-person or online, we gather with All Souls Church to celebrate the feast of hope; the resurrection of Christ.

Today of all days is a fresh beginning to know the truth so good only God can tell it; that "just when we think it's over, it's not."

Today, we meet any emptiness and expectations with God's cosmic surprise in Christ with an empty tomb (Luke 24:1-12).

And please JOIN US ONLINE, or in person, today,

Christ is risen indeed!

Just me,

Andrew

The vast majority of art we see expresses a distinctly Western European perspective. But what about the art of the Americas? In this series, we will examine artistic expressions born of the indigenous American experience - beginning with the petroglyphs of the North American Southwest and ending with the contemporary work of Chicano artists. From such art, we experience different philosophies, spiritualities, and understandings of the human experience.

In this presentation, we will examine the sometimes difficult topic of the Native American experience with Christianity. From the moment the Spanish first set foot in the Americas, they sought to convert the indigenous peoples to the Catholic faith, sometimes by force. The choice to resist or assimilate this foreign religion was bound up with Native American survival, and their options continued narrowing over time. Join me as we assess the legacy of Christianity on the indigenous people of the Americas.
