Rev. Matt McWaters is chairperson of the finance committee that recommended to the Northeastern Minnesota Synod Council of the ELCA to offer reparations to the Minnesota Chippewa Tribe. Our host, Dr. Matthew Cobb, asks Rev. McWaters about the motivating factors behind that decision and what it felt like in the room when that decision was made. They also delve into the theological basis behind offering reparations, and how Rev. McWaters' enthusiasm for this decision is informed by a deep connection to both land and scripture that he has experienced throughout his life.
