Cultural Encounters

A Journal for the Theology of Culture

Richard Twiss

Richard Twiss is a member of the Sicangu Band of the Rosebud Lakota/Sioux Tribe. For thirty-two years he has lived and walked as a follower of the Jesus Way. He has been married to his wife Katherine for thirty years and they have raised four respectful, caring sons.

His vision and ambition is to help people and communities come to know and experience what it means to live in a "good way." The "good way" speaks of both, a life free from all manner of destructive forces that would seek to oppress and ruin lives, and empowerment to live healthy and productive ones – spiritually, physically and socially. The Creator of heaven and earth, Jesus Christ, has made this possible for all people, tribes and nations. As we walk in this Jesus Way, He gives wisdom and power to live caring, respectful and loving lives in this world; to live in authentic harmony with God, people and creation – "the good way."
