The Rev. Dr. Suzanne Wenonah Duchesne, is a teacher, preacher, scholar, & consultant who delights in & encourages wholeness, justice, and healing with all creation. Her work in Beloved Speech, centers on identity formation, deep listening, and relationship building, particularly within the context of antiracist and decolonized preaching and worship practices.
Suzanne’s passion for social justice is guided by her ongoing relationships with members of various Indigenous Nations, including the Kiowa, Lakota, Cherokee, MVSKOKE (Creek), Choctaw, Chickasaw, Abenaki, Shinnecock, Southern Ute, Lenape, and Yuchi. These connections enrich her understanding and advocacy for Indigenous Peoples within her ministry and scholarship.
In addition to her published works on decolonized and antiracist preaching, she published essays, and articles, developed curricula, designed worship experiences, and crafted liturgies addressing critical topics such as Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women and Girls, the Doctrine of Discovery, Creation Care—including “Water is Life: Mní Wičóni”—the history of Methodist women preachers and activists, John Wesley’s interactions with various nations during his time in Georgia, and the legacy of Methodist involvement with Native American Boarding Schools.
