  • Summary

  • AN INVITATION TO AN INDIGENOUS WORLDVIEW  - with guest Reverend Dr. Randy Woodley  Randy outlines a traditional North American Indigenous worldview (Harmony Way) of caretaking, co-operation and community as opposed to the Western worldview of conquest, exploitation, and individualism. He argues that the former is akin to the ancient Hebrew vision of shalom, and vital for healing and maintaining the Creator’s “community of creation.”   WEBSITES: Randy Woodley: www.randywoodley.com Reverend Dr. Randy Woodley (Keetoowah Cherokee) is a prolific author, and recognized activist, leader and teacher in the fields of Indigenous and intercultural studies, theology, ecology and missiology.  Woodley and his wife, Edith, are co-sustainers of Eloheh Indigenous Center for Earth Justice and Eloheh Farm and Seeds. Eloheh Indigenous Center for Earth Justice: www.eloheh.org Eloheh Indigenous Center for Earth Justice focuses on developing, implementing and teaching sustainable and regenerative earth practices. “Eloheh” (pronounced Ay-luh-hay) is a Cherokee Indian word meaning harmony, wholeness, abundance and peace.    Eloheh Farm and Seeds: www.elohehseeds.com “We now have our own seed company, and we are trying to preserve open-pollinated organic seeds, many native species, and heirloom seeds... and that’s all very important to us... I would say every bit as important as our theological work because I don’t see a difference between them.”  - Randy Woodley BOOKS: Shalom and the Community of Creation: An Indigenous Vision By Randy S.
