More Than Creation Care

Yesterday, we went to a solidarity protest downtown Toronto to show solidarity with the land defenders in Wet'suwet'en territory. There’s a lot going on in that situation, but the gist of it is that Coastal Gas Link is trying to run a pipeline through their territory without the consent of the indigenous people there. This past week, the people resisting the pipeline evicted Coastal Gas Link and gave their workers several hours to leave, before they blockaded a major road used by the company. Canada deployed federal police, the RCMP, arresting and assaulting land defenders to end the blockade. The action in Toronto was powerful, starting outside the bank RBC, which is invested in the pipeline, and ending in a building with Coastal Gas Link offices. All that got our wheels turning more about all kinds of things like Christianity, colonization, climate change, ecosocialism, and the recent COP26 conference.

So, in this episode, we’re going to make some connections about what happened in COP26 and something that the decolonial theorist Walter Mignolo called the Christian afterworld.

Here's the statement from Development and Peace we referenced in the ep: https://www.kairoscanada.org/wp-content/uploads/2021/11/Wetsuweten-Ecumenical-Solidarity-Nov17.pdf
