From Sojourners' Magazine, here's Rev Richard Twiss, Terry Leblanc and Raymond Aldred, Ph.D. talking about the revival of indigenous theology in North America.
Their discussion of Christianity (informed by Ricoeur and Gadamer) from their Native American perspective raises some significant questions about how we approach the early chapters in Genesis, the environment and acts of charity. These theologians reveal how context and all our particularities of identity can create deeper meaning for Christians.

Wow, I hope Adventist Native Ministries "programs" are not oriented in the condescending way that is mentioned in this video. I am, however, proud of the Adventist tradition of monism and acknowledging the oneness of the physical and the spiritual, although dualism does continue to creep into our thinking (i.e. dividing the sacred and secular based on superficial standards). All in all, this video is refreshing.
