I just emailed some priests and friends the following:

Keeping my commentary short but sweet….

I was going to rant to you about an article from Episcopal Life:
CANADA: Historic apology to residential schools students seen as a beginning, http://www.episcopalchurch.org/81808_97783_ENG_HTM.htm
and decided just to copy what I put in their “Respond to this article” comment page (which won’t be published):

This article leaves out the complicity of the Churches who ran the residential schools. 

Here are just a few older articles that don’t:
http://www.cbsnews.com/stories/2002/04/09/60II/main505725.shtml
http://www.amnestyusa.org/amnestynow/soulwound.html

http://findarticles.com/p/articles/mi_m0MKY/is_7_27/ai_111026116

I wouldn’t make a big deal over the article, except that it was printed in two widely-read Anglican/Episcopal publications, and seemed to leave out anything that would make the Church look bad (or that could be extremely damaging in a court of law)….. 

I don’t know how to make live links on this site. So I’ll try to turn those URL’s into hyper-links.

Here’s the one that was reprinted in Episcopal Life today (from the Anglican Journal):
“CANADA: Historic apology to residential schools students seen as a beginning”

Here are the others mentioned above:
