A New Uprising for God's Glory

In this captivating chronicle of the Native American story, Richard Twiss of the Rosebud Lakota/Sioux sifts through myth and legend to reveal God's strategy for the nation's host people.

With wit, wisdom and passion, Twiss shows God's desire to use the cultures of First Nations peoples--in all their mystery, color and beauty--to break through to those involved in New Age mysticism, Eastern religions, even Islam.

One Church, Many Tribes is a rallying cry for the Church to work as one so that the lost may learn to walk in life with beauty, along the path of the Waymaker.

    5.0 out of 5 stars For More Than Just First Nations Believers
    Reviewed in Canada on January 2, 2003
    This book is half exploration of the Native experience with the Church, and half examination of how a Christian life should manifest itself in particular cultures. Twiss gives a good general introduction to the spectacularly poor manner in which First Nations peoples have been treated as not merely targets of evangelization, but as believers who did not find the alleged brotherhood of the faith either very brotherly or faithful. It is a sad, disgusting tale, made personal by the account of Chief Spokane Garry.
    It is the rest of the book, however, where the hope shines through. Here, Twiss asks the darn good question: Why shouldn't First Nations persons use their own instruments, music, dress, and dance to honor God? Yes, why not? He expands the argument to include aboriginal peoples all around the world, and it is actually applicable to any culture that wonders why it's being fed the Western way as the alleged way things are to be done. He developes a careful, Biblically sensitive mindset on how to think through these issues, such that one can disassociate cultural items from an original context that may not have been consonant with Biblical values, and give them new life in the Christian worldview. It is a great vision of Christ transforming culture. When this type of thinking catches on around the world, the kingdom will grow in leaps and bounds. For anyone who feels their culture, or subculture, has been stepped on by middle-class Western values that someone has tried to hide in God's mouth, this book will help set you free to drum, create, dance, and dress in ways that both make sense to your people and honor your God.

    5.0 out of 5 stars I wouldn't change much...
    Reviewed in Canada on August 24, 2004
    I heard this man speak first, which was what convinced me to get the book. Incredibly relevant content for today, and even more relevant when you start extrapolating into the Mexican and South American native history. I must admit though that there are a few pages in there where I raised my eyebrows at some of his "optimism", but then again I can learn from that as well. "Never stop dreaming until you're ready to wake up and do it".

    Reviewed in Canada on July 19, 2002
    ...at how balanced this work is. Twiss does an admirable job of presenting a coherent and sensitive biblical viewpoint on the cultural influences on both Scripture - which he obviously holds in high regard - and our theologizing. This allows the reader to have a greater understanding of how cultural blind spots exist in our theological and religious thinking. At the same time, the author explores both the possibility and desireability of cultural awareness, sensitivity and incorporation into our theology and church's (or messianic synagogue's) life.

    One Church Many Tribes is a deeply spiritual book that helps "white bread" readers like me to understand some of the greater universalities of our Christian faith. I strongly recommend this book for readers everywhere, and especially for those who live in areas with a Native American population.

    This is a must read for Christian Americans! Richard Twiss was a pastor and activist for First Nation people. His unique perspectives are thought provoking and challenging. In today's climate of denying historical truths that are shameful, Pastor Twiss promotes repentance and forgiveness and leaves the reader feeling uplifted that change is possible for Native Americans and their status in this society.

    As a devout Christian who is very much into the Culture of the American Indian, I find it a breath of fresh air to find and listen to the likes of Richard Twiss. I'm already in chapter 5 of this wonderful book and it has helped me with my faith in Our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ and His Word the Holy Bible. As much as I read about the American Indian, you hardly hear about those who not only christians but Ministers such as Pastor Twiss. If I ever get stationed out in South Dakota, I hope to visit him and work with him and many of brothers and sisters. I maybe Black, but we are all children of God. The Bible gives no mention to a man or woman's skin color. May God bless Pastor Twiss and his family. Thank you for this wonderful book. To all the naysayers(not just the atheists, but those in the church as well), if you don't like this book or appreciate what Pastor Twiss is trying to do, then you don't have to read it and if you haven't read it, then please don't be coming on here and give ignorant biased opinions. I'm asking you nicely.

    5.0 out of 5 stars For All Natives Who Struggle with Their Faith
    Reviewed in the United States on November 9, 2019

    This book is so good. It really helped me figure out who I am on my faith walk and what its really like to be a Christian Native in a world who didnt like us as First Nations Peoples. It helped me be more firm and confident in my walk who I am, who I want to be, and what parts of me I want to let go and the other parts of me I want to grow in the faith. Its hard for Natives to be "One way" to appease our white neighbors, we just want to be our selves and want to bring Honor, Glory and attention to the OUR creator and talk to him in the way we know how as First Nations Peoples

    5.0 out of 5 stars The best way into the Native / Christian discussion
    Reviewed in the United States on April 10, 2018
    Verified Purchase
    This is the ‘go to’ book I give folk who are looking to work their way into the Native story in relation to the gospel. Twiss was a leader in the contextualized theology movement. What’s happening in Africa, Asia and Latin America where folk are reading Scripture from within and to their culture is happening next door in the Asian American, African American and Native American/First Nations communities. Problem is that while we celebrate, for example, the developments in Latin American theological reflection (take a look at the contributions of folk like Rene Padilla and Samuel Escobar), we continue to suspicious of Native engagement with the gospel and thier culture. To put it another way, the early church stood against those who said that the Gentile converts to Christ had to become Jewish in order to be disciples. This was the issue at the Jerusalem Council (Acts 15) and in the book of Galatians. For too long Native believers have been told that they must abandon their culture to follow Christ. Ricard Twiss brings us an insightful attempt to bring the gospel back into dialog with the Native communities. His voice and work were a miracle, one which continues in places like the organization he co-founded: NAIITS: An Indigenous Learning Community (naiits.com).
