Decolonizing Evangelicalism

Randy Woodley was raised near Detroit, Michigan, and is a legal descendent of the United Keetoowah Band of Cherokee Indians in Oklahoma. As a child, Randy loved to spend time in the woods and at a nearby creek listening to and watching the wondrous world around him. That same wonderment has continued throughout his adult life. Randy and his wife, Edith, maintain Eloheh Farm and Eloheh Village (eloheh is a Cherokee Indian word meaning harmony) for Indigenous Leadership, a permaculture, regenerative teaching farm and community in Newberg, Oregon. Randy's most recent book, sharing similar principles found in this book but written for adults, is Shalom and the Community of Creation: An Indigenous Vision (Eerdmans, 2012).Ramone Romero has liked drawing ever since he can remember. As a little boy, he used to sit through church with coloring books, yet as he grew up he drew less and less because he didn't think his art was very good, which made him sad. One day, the Creator showed him a simple picture, but Ramone couldn't understand it. As the Creator explained it to him, Ramone's heart began to heal, and the Creator took away his sorrow. Since then, Ramone has been drawing and painting a lot, even more than when he was little. He still doesn't think his art is great, but he hopes its simplicity and love will touch your heart, just like the Creator touched his. Ramone's artwork can be seen at ramone-romero.blogspot.com....
