their own colonizing attitudes even while seemingly convinced this was the logical course of action.It is refreshing to also find documented in this volume the more recent PAOC's attempts to redress their failures.Along these lines, Ross shows how the PAOC acknowledged its own complicity with colonial structures by entering a necessary process of apologizing for their own behaviour, even while not directly responsible for or actively participating in the Indigenous Residential Schools system.With all its limitations, this apology marks a significant moment of reckoning by the PAOC.That said, suspicion of the PAOC's motivations remains a critical concern among Indigenous communities, whereby some churches have left the denomination and formed their own organizations, as was the case with the Christian Aboriginal Fellowship of Canada (CAFC).Additionally, the question of how much of Indigenous practices and rituals can be contextualized remains a point of contention.This book goes beyond the traditional triumphalist depictions of Pentecostalism in general and the PAOC specifically, with a sobering evaluative invitation to study Pentecostalism in Canada with respect to Indigenous peoples.As the author makes clear, Indigenous Pentecostal ministries do not only bring implications for the mostly Euro-Canadian PAOC, they also have much to offer to the rest of the world.To my surprise, Ross fails to connect with all the other racialized communities who also make up the PAOC.It is important to look at these communities in terms of how they can come together with Indigenous Pentecostal ministers and work together, without having Pentecostal Euro-Canadians broker those relationships.Some of the critiques one finds in this book about the institutional structures of the PAOC and its colonial paternalistic approach also apply to how the mainly Euro-Canadian leadership deals with other racialized communities in the PAOC.Ross' critique of the absence of Indigenous leaders at the national level within the PAOC also applies to the lack of racialized leaders in general.Only when racialized people play a significant role at the national and district leadership level, will the PAOC live out not only the Indigenous principle but the Pentecostal principle as well.This book is a must read for Pentecostal scholars interested in how colonization has also crept into the Pentecostal movement.It is also a must read for Pentecostals who wish to have a more balanced appreciation of the work and legacy of the PAOC.
