"The church in Canada is, today, radically re-examining its relationship with the Aboriginal Peoples of that country in function of purifying and renewing its covenant with them. This re-examination has been sparked by a number of factors: The recognition that we did not bring the Gospel to them in all its purity. Rather our initial missionary endeavor, for all its dedication, goodness and grace, was also marked by a lack of full respect for their culture and traditions."
