September 30 - Orange Shirt Day

On September 30th,  Orange Shirt Day, we remember and honour Indigenous children who were taken from their communities and families to residential institutions.

On September 30th, we also observe the National Day for Truth and Reconciliation. For non-Indigenous Christians in particular, this is a time to reflect on their role in colonialism and the ongoing impact.

Please watch Moderator The Right Rev. Dr. Carmen Lansdowne's message for this day.

The Moderator's Message for September 30, 2024

Powerful Christ,
we are grateful that you came to us as a child,
who grew out of a community that nurtured, supported, and taught you the way of your ancestors.
You have asked us to do the same:
      to treat every child as we would treat you,
      to love every person as you have loved us.

We are grateful that
      your power is rooted in love, not force;
      your strength is displayed through community, not might.
You have taught us to work toward a better world where all of creation thrives,
      and where every child matters.

On this Orange Shirt Day,
we remember Phyllis Webstad as a child,
and the stolen childhood of all the children forcibly raised by church-run institutions, known as residential schools.
We lament how these institutions
      stole from children the opportunity to grow in a safe and loving environment,
      stole from Elders the opportunity to share their teachings and wisdom with younger
            generations; and
      stole from communities the opportunity to live intergenerationally.

We mourn the children who never made it home,
      the communities that were destroyed,
      the broken hearts,
      the stories never shared, and
      the shattered relationships.

We ask that you provide
      comfort to all who are seeking healing and who daily wrestle with the ongoing harmful legacy of
            these colonial institutions,
      strength to all who name how colonial powers have harmed us as peoples and as a nation;
            often at great personal cost, and
      courage to all who are working toward reconciliation.

Christ Child,
As you grew, you reminded us to always welcome and care for children.
We remember your children today.
We lament and acknowledge the sinful ways that colonial powers tried to eradicate Indigenous cultures within Canada,
      breaking Indigenous families,
      removing children from their homes while destroying communities.
And we pray for healing,
so that we who live together in this country
      can also work together to build a better future
      where all children are cherished, beloved, and given what they need to thrive.
So that we may treat all children as we would treat you, our Beloved.
May it be so.
Amen.
