This is an excellently developed post. I’ve been struggling for sometime with “why I feel so out of place as an indigenous sri Lankan leading lutheran and anglican congregations in Ontario, Canada” - which might be kind of odd! But the way you’ve discussed religion language and colonization/power structures here is fantastic. Thank you. 🙏🏾
Thank you, Janaki. I really appreciate your words, and I can only imagine the layers of complexity in navigating those spaces—how history, power, and belonging intersect in ways that are often felt before they are fully understood. Your presence in that role is itself an act of transformation, and I hope you find spaces where your perspective is recognized not as 'odd' but as deeply needed. Wishing you strength and clarity on that journey.
