Ground blessing ceremony prepares Iliff School of Theology space for memorial

Season 2025 Episode 91 | 3m 33s | CC

As part of a multi-year process, the Iliff School of Theology recently hosted a ground blessing on its campus in preparation for a memorial to be installed. The memorial will honor and recognize the school's participation in a dark history. A minister gave a book bound in the flayed and tanned skin of a murdered Lenape man to Iliff in 1893. The school proudly put the book on display for 80 years.
