Common Table Podcast UMC
From the Social Holiness Team of the Upper New York Annual Conference of the United Methodist Church (UNYAC UMC), the Common Table Podcast UMC reaches out to lift voices that have been quieted because privileged voices seem to have more access, more attention, more media; however, all voices are loved by the God of creation and our Savior, Christ Jesus.
It is our hope and prayer that the Common Table Podcast UMC will lift voices to inform, educate, and inspire the ministries of justice in your community of faith in the name of Christ.
Thank you for your precious time in listening. For more information: UNYUMC.org If you have an idea for an interview or questions, contact:

Common Table Podcast UMC
A Bridge Not a Wall: Standing Next to Native American Spirituality, in Christ
n The spiritual truths we share are part of the universal human experience. In this Common Table UMC Podcast, Rev. Dr. Robin Blair speaks with Ansley Jemison, Cultural Liason of Ganondagan Historic Site in Victor, NY.
Ganondagan State Historic Site located in Victor, NY is a National Historic Landmark, the only New York State Historic Site dedicated to a Native American theme (1987), and the only Seneca town developed and interpreted in the United States. Spanning 569 acres, Ganondagan (ga·NON·da·gan) is the original site of a 17th century Seneca town, that existed there peacefully more than 350 years ago. The culture, art, agriculture, and government of the Seneca people influenced our modern understanding of equality, democratic government, women’s rights, ecology and natural foods. www.ganondagan.org
Mr. Jemison is a member of the Seneca Nation and shares with us some of the historic realities of the Iroquis people (Haudenosaunee) and some of his own personal journey. Please listen with your heart to imagine the weight of his laments.
Listen for how God speaks to you with this bit of information geared toward the truth of Jesus words:" Love one another as I have loved you" (Jn 13:34), and see where your heart calls you to journey with our neighbors.
