Equals and Partners: A Spiritual Journey Toward Reconciliation and Oneness, Wazin Îchinabi

Patricia Verge

Equals and Partners: A Spiritual Journey Toward Reconciliation and Oneness, Wazin Îchinabi - Victoria, BC Friesen Press 2018 - 444 p. index, illus.

Canada is poised to reconcile its centuries-long fraught history with Indigenous peoples and to establish justice. What fundamental spiritual principles should guide this challenging process and bring together peoples who have been separated for so long?

In this part-memoir, part-scholarly work, Patricia Verge records her decades-long friendship with the Stoney Nakoda Nation in southern Alberta. She explores how her spiritual journey has been intimately entwined with service among Indigenous people and confronts her own ignorance of the true history of Canada, taking for her guidance this quote from the writings of the Bahá’í Faith: “a massive dose of truth must be administered to heal.”

An engaging and timely work, Equals and Partners is ultimately a story of love and commitment to the principle of the oneness of humanity.
