Doctrine of Discovery

On Wednesday, October 16, the Rector hosted a screening of the film, The Doctrine of Discovery: Stolen Lands, Strong Hearts, produced by the Anglican Church of Canada for our St. Jude's parishioners. 

This film is one of the responses of the Anglican Church’s Primate’s Commission on discovery reconciliation and justice. The purpose of this film is to respond to the calls to action by helping to provide education and insight into the racist foundations of many of our property and other laws still in existence to this day. 

The film can be viewed in full below.

To learn more about the Doctrine of Discovery and the repudiation of the same, we recommend this resource from the Canadian Museum of Human Rights.
