Winter Talk is a three day in-person and virtual conversation at Phillips Theological Seminary in Tulsa, Oklahoma on the Christian Doctrine of Discovery (DOD) and its influence on Christian theology and polity. Hosted by Center for Indigenous Ministries (DOC), Winter Talk is dedicated to furthering the conversation on the Christian Doctrine of Discovery and its dismantling. Pastor Laurie, Pastor Dan, and Justin Carlson will be attending in-person
Winter Talk is an important time for Canadians and US siblings to gather and eat, learn, and talk about the Doctrine of Discovery’s impact on North American peoples. All people are welcomed to Winter Talk; a place and space of accountability to American Indignity where the Indigenous voice is principle in an exploration of the past, an understanding of the present, and a visioning of the future.
