- Notes
- "Don't be afraid to put something positive in the 'Anglican Journal' about the Indian residential schools. Anglicans should hear the whole story, not just statements from people who never saw a school. When Archbishop Privett says he's ashamed of what the Anglican church did ['TRC [Truth and Reconciliation Commission] expressions of reconciliation', Nov. 2013, p. 8], I would like to reassure him that he has nothing of which to be ashamed; wonderful work was done with these aboriginal children. We gave unconditional love to the Indian children and are so proud of the help we gave them, even though our church continues to demonize us". [Text of entire article.]
