Performance of ‘An Honour Story’ - United Church of Canada

The Many Faces of God – Worship Matters
United Church of Canada Symposium
Performance of ‘An Honour Story’
Debajehmujig - Storytellers was invited to perform for delegates from across Northern Ontario who gathered at Little Current, ON this September at the Worship Matters Symposium – The Many Faces of God. The symposium hosted by the United Church of Canada explored the theme of the diverse forms of spirituality at work in the world today. Debajehmujig was asked to bring a point of view to the symposium that would provide insight into traditional Anishinaabeg spirituality.
The small but appreciative audience of 60 responded with a standing ovation. Based on the quality of the feedback after the show and the many rich discussions that took place An Honour Story was the right story to be shared. In addition to the evening performance we also delivered two afternoon workshops “Promoting right relations through theatre” a cross-cultural workshop that gently guided participants to see the world through the eye of the ‘other’. The workshops really helped to set the context for the evening performance.
