Come and Worship at
St. David's Episcopal Church

“We remember and honor the Indigenous people of the world, especially the Lenape, also known as the Lenni-Lenape or Delaware Indians. We acknowledge that St. David’s Church stands on the land that was once their home called the “Lenapehoking”. We acknowledge the Lenape Nation of Pennsylvania, the Lenape remaining in their homeland in New Jersey and Delaware, and the Lenape diaspora represented by nations based in Oklahoma, Wisconsin, and Ontario. We give thanks for them and express our gratitude for their witness on how to live a life that is honorable and humble. May we always remember that the Earth does not belong to us; that we belong to the Earth, and that we are all relatives in life. Help us to learn from our past and be instruments of justice and peace for all people in today’s world, particularly the original Indigenous inhabitants.”
