Endorsement
Walk as We has begun from relationship with Indigenous people welcomed and given a place to gather and affirm their identity as Indigenous people and address real felt needs. The Truth and Reconciliation Commission's Calls to Action to the church are being realized in Calgary and I support Walk as We's Director Layne Kilbreath because he has embodied the TRC's call to healing working together with Rev. Laurie McKay.
