Church History for Chumps
We're not your grandfather's church history podcast. But we'd also really appreciate it if he still listened.
Saints, heretics, councils...and the occasional crazy stuff. We have fun.

36. Indigenous Boarding Schools: "Kill the Indian, Save the Man"
Manifest Destiny is a heck of a drug.
In the 1800's, American and Canadian settlers were faced with a problem: what should be done about all these Native/Indigenous people? The result was a pretty gross blemish on the face of North American Christianity: the adoption of Indigenous Boarding Schools.
The story behind this episode isn't a fun one, but we believe it's important as believers to remember the full story of our Christian heritage, even the parts that make us squirm a little. Praise God for His abundant mercies.
