Pine Valley is excited to host a book signing for David Hansen’s new book, Native Americans, The Mainline Church, And The Quest For Interracial Justice beginning at 3 p.m. on Saturday, December 3.
David has been in active ministry for over 40 years and has served congregations in both the United Church of Christ and the Christian Church (DOC) from Saskatchewan to Hawaii to now Wichita.
His studies at the Pacific School of Religion and the Graduate Theological Union at Berkeley focused on the role of religion in student movements, ethics, and economic policy.
The Native American drive for self-governance is the most important civil rights struggle of our time — a struggle too often covered up. In his book, David discusses the church’s role in helping America heal its bleeding wounds of systemic oppression.
While many believe the United States is a melting pot for all cultures, Hansen asserts the longest war in human history is the one Anglo-Christians have waged on Native Americans. Using faith as a weapon against the darkness of injustice, this book will change the way you view how we must solve the pressing problems of racism, poverty, environmental degradation, and violence, and it will remind you that faith can be the leaven of justice.
In this time of racial unrest and the recent protests of the Standing Rock Sioux Tribe, there could not be a more timely release of this book.
Books will be available for purchase.
