Join us as we gather for a showing of the movie, "The Doctrine of Discovery". The one-hour documentary will be followed by a time for reflection led by Pastor Brooke. The Doctrine of Discovery is a set of legal principles that governed the European colonizing powers in the 1400’s as they began their exploration of the world. This became a system of domination that began in the name of Christianity and inspired the US law system that continues to uphold the same code/doctrine today.
