Adam Kline is director of intercultural missions at the Free Methodist Church in Canada. Jonathan Maracle is a Mohawk musician from Tyendinaga, not far from Kline's home in Belleville, Ont. They reflect with host Bill Fledderus about how our ethnic background can influence church practices and theology. Maracle's music career launched at an important event called Sacred Assembly back in 1995, and he and Kline recently attended a 30th anniversary of it in January 2026, which lead to discussion about how church understandings around Indigenous culture have changed over those years.
