During a weekend in Saskatchewan spent listening to stories from survivors of Canada’s residential schools, the Archbishop of Canterbury warned in a church service that rules and structures must not become more important than people.

Welby, who is the senior bishop and the spiritual head of the Church of England, has said that a significant purpose of his visit to Canada April 29 to May 3 is to repent and atone for the harm the Church of England has caused to Indigenous peoples. “We cannot put a burden, or the obligation, on those who suffered and say it’s your job to forgive. But I will tell you from my own experience that being forgiven is often harder than forgiving,” Welby said.

The Anglican Church says it ran about three dozen residential schools in Canada between 1820 and 1969. In 1993, the Anglican Church of Canada apologized for operating residential schools.On Saturday, Welby attended a ceremony held in a gymnasium on the James Smith Cree Nation in northern Saskatchewan, where he was presented with an eagle feather by the vice-chief of the province’s Federation of Sovereign Indigenous Nations, David Pratt.

There's no such thing as a 'difficult' dog. They're living beings with feelings/ emotions + needs. When properly loved,they're well balanced. Behind any stressed out,emotionally disturbed animal,there's a reason; Most of the time humans are the problem.
