Joshua in the Shadows of Genocide: A Decolonizing Reading Group
Join us for a collaborative, community-rooted exploration of the Book of Joshua through a decolonizing, gender-aware, and non-conquering lens. This interfaith reading group critically examines how conquest narratives have been used to justify violence and colonialism, while opening space for liberatory interpretations of sacred text.
Fall Intensive Series
September 7, Oct 5, Nov2
Our foundational three-month journey meets on first Sundays from 1:00-3:00 PM, building momentum through consistent monthly gatherings. Each session deepens our engagement with the PARDES+ framework while rotating through different cultural and theological perspectives. Read more about 2026 schedule in the COMMUNITY INFORMATION below.
Register
WHO IS THIS FOR
Everyone is welcome! This group is designed for:
People from Jewish and Christian backgrounds seeking critical engagement with scripture
Those interested in interfaith, multicultural perspectives
Anyone wrestling with violent texts and their contemporary implications
Community members committed to anti-colonial solidarity
Individuals seeking redemptive approaches to sacred literature
No prior biblical knowledge required - bring your questions and curiosity
OUR GOALS
Address how conquest narratives have been used and abused across faiths and ideologies
Bring the wrestling and the ongoing questions as our pedagogy
Challenge the isolation that comes from questioning sacred violence
Synthesize reflection into action for liberation
Build apartheid-free, interfaith community models
QUESTIONS WE CARRY
What does it mean to be a member of a faith community which perpetuates violences rooted in these types of texts?
How do we wrestle with violent texts without minimizing the violence?
Can we invite people to share their stories and starting points?
How do we assume folx like us were there - witnessing, carrying, grieving?
How do we make sense of this in the context of Sacred Scripture?
How do we acknowledge the evangelical/observant trauma in our spiritual journeys?
COMMUNITY INFORMATION
Click on + to expand the text.
-
We employ the PARDES+ framework - an expansion of traditional Jewish hermeneutics that centers justice:
P'shat (Simple/Literal): Unpacking personal experience with the text
Remez (Allegory): Creative and symbolic interpretations
D'rash (Analysis): Critical examination through decolonial and liberatory lenses
Sod (Secret/Mystical): Wrestling with redemptive possibilities and spiritual insights
+ Justice: Centering how conquest narratives connect to contemporary liberation struggles
-
We acknowledge the tensions within interfaith dialogue that can inadvertently create victim/perpetrator binaries. Our approach seeks to hold multiple truths: the reality of contemporary violence justified through these texts, the rich traditions of resistance within each faith community, and the archaeological realities that challenge mainstream biblical narratives. We resist the temptation to flatten complex histories while maintaining our commitment to justice and liberation.
-
Winter Reflection & Celebration (December 2025) December 7th offers a more casual gathering - part Chanukah/Christmas celebration, part reflection on our journey together. This session creates space to discern whether and how the community wants to continue.
Winter Expansion Series (February - April 2026) Welcoming new participants, we resume with three sessions designed to integrate fresh voices while building on the foundation established in fall. The April 5th gathering coincides with Easter/Passover/Palestinian Child Day, honoring the convergence of holy seasons with justice work.

Shadia Qubti is a Palestinian Christian from Nazareth, currently an arrivant on the unceded territories of the xʷməθkʷəy̓əm (Musqueam), Sḵwx̱wú7mesh (Squamish), and səlilwətaɬ (Tsleil-Waututh) Nations, known as Vancouver, Canada. She worked in faith-based peacebuilding in Palestine/Israel for 15 years, focusing on amplifying women's voices through initiatives like the Women Behind the Wall podcast. Her writing is inspired by her completed research into Palestinian and North American Indigenous understandings of land, informing her approach to contextual theology. Her forthcoming publications include "Noticing Sumac in Unexpected Places: Theological Engagement" in The Cross and the Olive Tree: Cultivation Palestinian Theology Amid Gaza (2025) and "The Significance of Peacebuilding in Theological Education." Shadia currently serves as Community Engagement Animator at Trinity Grace United Church in Vancouver.
-
Orev Reena Katz (they/them) is an anti-zionist prayer leader, Hebrew Priestess and psychotherapist. They are a member of Independent Jewish Voices-Vancouver, and a co-founder of Women for Palestine in Treaty 13-Tkaronto/Toronto. As resistance to the genocide in Gaza, apartheid across Palestine, and the profound Jewish exceptionalism of this time, Orev is excited about and committed to understanding texts central to Jewish practice and history from a decolonizing lens.
-
Beth Carlson-Malena (she/her) is a co-pastor at Open Way Community Church, and a member of the Lead Team of Christians for a Free Palestine. She grew up as a pastors' kid in the Canadian Baptist denomination, and studied at Regent College. She's excited to continue her interfaith and decolonial learning in this group
Like Banksy's dove wearing a bulletproof vest, we are faith leaders from three apartheid-free communities who carry both the symbols of peace and the protective commitment necessary to challenge how our sacred texts have been weaponized for violence. Some of us identify as anti-Zionist Jews and Christians, working within our traditions to reclaim liberatory interpretations.
We are affirming and reconciling communities of faith, recognizing that our work for Palestinian liberation exists within a web of interconnected justice concerns. Our commitment to being apartheid-free is aspirational—a pledge to continual growth and action rather than a finished achievement.
Our Apartheid-Free pledge acknowledges that Palestinian liberation is intrinsically linked to Indigenous sovereignty, inclusive community for all marginalized groups, climate justice, and economic equity. As we stand against Israeli apartheid, we humbly recognize our own complicity in systems that have harmed Indigenous peoples in Canada and excluded many others based on their identities.
We see profound connections between Palestinian struggles and the experiences of Indigenous peoples, 2SLGBTQI+ individuals, racialized people, and those facing economic injustice. The systems that oppress Palestinians share roots with those that discriminate against marginalized communities everywhere. Our prophetic witness against one system of injustice strengthens our ability to recognize and resist others.
We move forward with both humility and determination, knowing that freedom and justice for all peoples are inseparable. Like that armored dove, we embody the commitment to work for peace while acknowledging the protection required to do this sacred work of liberation.

Kairos Blanket Exercise
Welcome! Trinity Grace United Church is hosting a blanket exercise. We have limited spots, so please RSVP to reserve your place. Please note that only email addresses indicate here will be sent further information and follow-up material. Keep scrolling for more information about what the Blanket Exercise is, and who will be facilitating!
RSVP is required
To learn more about KAIROS Blanket Exercise, you can also visit the official website here
What is Kairos Blanket Exercise ?
This participatory workshop will help to understand how colonization of the land we now know as British Columbia and Canada has impacted the people who lived here long before settlers arrived. Through this exercise you will explore the nation-to-nation relationship between Indigenous and non-Indigenous peoples in Canada, how this relationship has been damaged over the years, and how we all can work toward reconciliation.
In 1996, in response to Canada’s Royal Commission on Aboriginal Peoples (RCAP), the Aboriginal Rights Coalition worked with Indigenous elders and teachers to develop an interactive way of learning the history most Canadians are never taught.
The KAIROS Blanket Exercise was the result; it has since been offered thousands of times and the sixth edition was released in 2020. Participants learn about European colonization of Turtle Island (North America), the accompanying dispossession of Indigenous peoples (reflected by the steady removal of blankets upon which participants stand) and Indigenous resistance and efforts to reclaim land and rights.
Participants are drawn into the experience by engaging on an emotional and intellectual level, the Blanket Exercise effectively educates and increases empathy. Participants also have the opportunity to debrief and discuss the experience as a group. This often takes the form of a talking circle.
With this knowledge of our shared history we can begin to work together with mutual respect toward reconciliation. The members of KAIROS are: the Anglican Church of Canada, the Canadian Catholic Organization for Development and Peace, the Canadian Conference of Catholic Bishops, the Canadian Religious Conference, the Christian Reformed Church in North America (Canada Corporation), the Evangelical Lutheran Church in Canada, Mennonite Central Committee Canada, the Presbyterian Church in Canada, the Primate’s World Relief and Development Fund, the Religious Society of Friends (Quakers), and the United Church of Canada
A little bit about our facilitators
John & Nancy Denham
We have lived on the homeland of the shishalh Nation since 1977. Our reconciliation work began in 2010 after having attended the first TRC National Event in Winnipeg. We got involved with the clergy of both our local United Church and Anglican Church to help educate ourselves and our community in preparation for the TRC Event in Vancouver of 2013.
Our involvement has continued since then to include becoming Kairos Blanket Exercise facilitators (60+ exercises), organizing book studies, dialogue circles, and founding members of the syiyaya Reconciliation Movement which is a local reconciliation group working in collaboration with members of the shíshálh Nation.
Nancy is a trainer, facilitator, circle keeper and mentor for the Restorative Justice Program of the Sunshine Coast. In 2019 we became facilitators for the PWRDF Mapping Exercise and have now done several exercises here on the coast, in Vancouver and on Vancouver Island.

Lunch & Learn: CPSHR
Join us for an informative Lunch and Learn featuring representatives from Canada-Philippines Solidarity for Human Rights (CPSHR). Learn about their important work advocating for human rights and labor justice in the Philippines.
FEATURED PRESENTATION
Our guests will share insights about CPSHR's current campaign advocating for the release of Maojo Maga, a Filipino labor organizer imprisoned since 2018. Maga, who organized for Kilusang Mayo Uno (May First Labor Movement), had his initial conviction overturned but still faces multiple charges that many human rights organizations consider politically motivated. We will also discuss how Duterte was arrested and what we can learn to hold other war criminals, such as Netanyahu, accountable.
ABOUT CPSHR
CPSHR works in partnership with several established organizations including:
International League of Peoples' Struggle (ILPS) Vancouver
St. Augustine's Church
Vancouver District Labour Council
International Coalition for Human Rights in the Philippines (ICHRP)
Their representatives bring experience from both advocacy and faith-based communities, including active involvement with the United Church of Canada and established relationships with labor councils and religious institutions.
LUNCH DETAILS
Reroot Curry and white rice will be provided
If you don't eat white rice, please bring an alternative (such as brown rice)
Order placed via our partner, Farm-to-Plate Marketplace
Come learn about this important human rights campaign and discover how you can support international advocacy efforts to build pressure for justice.
