Legacies (Legacies of Colonisation pt. 12)
After eleven episodes exploring the history and themes of settler colonisation, Jon and Jacob step back to reflect on the legacies that live on today, not just for First Nations people, but for the whole nation. And what does all of this mean for a Christian response to the legacies of the past in the present moment?
