Host Lyn van Rooyen, WCC publications coordinator, speaks with Lori Ransom, WCC Indigenous peoples consultant; Rev. Vavauni Ljaljegean, born among the Paiwan People and currently serving an Indigenous church in South Taiwan; and Rev. Shane Goldie—a Cree/Métis, 2-spirited ordained minister in the United Church of Canada.
Ransom is editor of the report, while Ljaljegean and Goldie are contributors. Both speak about why they chose art as a medium through which to communicate.
Van Rooyen poses the question: “How do you think art helps people to understand and respond to the complex issues we face today—like climate change?”
Ransom also talks about the seminar out of which the report came, and how the report itself takes readers around the world. “All of the authors bring a very different lens and an important contribution to the conversation,” she says.
