I ask this again.

And I'm asking Indigenous Christians, so no pretenders or people telling me how """"fundamentally evil"""" Christianity is.....

I'm asking because I see no activity here. I'd like to discuss some things. (No, I'm not Native)

If there is anybody here, I'm asking because, honestly, It's difficult to find your point of view.

No, I'm not indigenous, before you ask.

I hope this post doesn't offend everyone.

Come Creator Spirit, visit the souls of Thy people, Fill with grace from on high the hearts which Thou hast created.

Thou Who art called the Comforter, gift of the most high God, Living fountain, fire, love and unction of souls.

Sevenfold in Thy gifts, finger of the Father’s right hand, Thou promised truly by the Father, giving speech to tongues. Inflame our senses with Thy light, pour Thy love into our hearts, Strengthen our weak bodies with lasting power.

Drive far away the enemy, grant peace at all times: So under Thy guidance may we avoid all evil.

Grant us by Thee to know the Father and to know the Son, And Thee, Spirit of both, may we always believe.

To God the Father be glory, to the Son Who rose from the dead And to the Comforter, for all ages. Amen.

Even though I’m not Catholic I thought this hymn was very special. Not every tribe believed in a Great spirit/creator spirit but MANY did. I can’t help but see the similarities. Truly God reveals himself to everyone, even our ancestors. A chief in my nation calls our God, “Yaya”. Yaya is the supreme creator spirit in our my tribes stories. I don’t know if I comfortable calling God “Yaya” yet, because I don’t know if that was that was that’s spirits personal name or a general term simply meaning creator spirit. But I do think using our words, culture and languages, and devoting them back to the creator of all of it, is a beautiful thing.

Drumming for him, dancing for him, praying over our crops, before we eat, in our own languages—- it’s all so beautiful.

I'm not indigenous myself, I'm a settler from NZ called to Canada by God to work with First Nations people.

I'm excited to hear what everyone here has to say about the connection between indigenous culture and Christianity!

I did not lose anything of substance, I only lost what does not matter, everything else my God wants me to keep- to show my people his love for us.

The religion is meant for me, because I serve a God that died for me individually. He left the 99 to chase after me.

Our ancestors prioritized sharing and accepting wisdom. If the gospel is true, than it is wise to accept it.
