Joyce Johnston: The Difference of Being Seen and Heard
Joyce Johnston is one of those grandmothers you just want to sit and visit with for hours. She couldn't share a cup of tea through our less-than-perfect internet connection, but she shared laughs and teachings, stories and affirmations. Whether sharing her experience as a grandmother of a child in care of the Ontario Children's Aid Society, as a United Church pastor collaborating with a son who is a traditional spiritual leader, her critique and appreciation of early Christian influences, her wry observations of her own colonization and decolonization, or her experiences as a helper in a Return of the Buffalo Mother's Retreat, Joyce brings a lively wit and a big love to all the relationships she reflects on.
