“There is a remarkable coherence and integration to the essays in The Journey Press On. I know of no other work like it in Canada or elsewhere.” - Michael Attridge, Toronto School of Theology “All the perspectives and sources I would have expected to see from a collection seeking to advance reconciliation are engaged in The Journey Presses On, as well as fresh, enriching perspectives. Jane Barter and Doris Kieser have fostered a crucial space where the same events and discourses can be variously upheld as promising or inadequate. A must-read book for Catholics and other faith-inspired folks committed to settler-Indigenous reconciliation.” - Chris Hrynkow, St Thomas More College
