Doctrine of Discovery Class on November 20

On Sunday, November 20th, Adult Sunday School will discuss the Doctrine of Discovery.

The Doctrine of Discovery is the concept of public international law promulgated by Christian European monarchies in order to legitimize the colonization and evangelization of lands outside Europe.

As background, please access Native American author Mark Charles's 18-minute TEDx talk on YouTube entitled “'We the People - The Three Most Misunderstood Words in U.S. History”.

For more information, read the book "Unsettling Truths: The Ongoing, Dehumanizing Legacy of the Doctrine of Discovery" by Mark Charles and Soong-Chan Rah. It's available at the Montgomery County Library, for purchase online at the link above, or from Loyalty Books at 823 Ellsworth Dr, Silver Spring, MD 20910.
