Faith & Freedom Pilgrimage to the American South
January 15 -20, 2020
Join fellow students and young adults from local congregations on a road trip through the American South as we explore the intersections between Christian faith and justice movements through the lens of the Civil Rights Movement. We will hop in a van and traverse four states to learn about and bear witness to the holy places where the saints of the Civil Rights Movement walked, worked, prayed, sang, fought, and died. Over five days, we will learn about historical and contemporary freedom movements led by young adults, trace the theological roots of both the Civil Rights Movement and the racism it sought to overcome, and explore how our own spirituality and sense of vocation can empower us to follow Jesus in the work of liberation and justice-making today. After we return from the pilgrimage, we will continue to meet in pairs and/or as a group for ongoing reflection, conversation, and action throughout the spring.
Where are We Going? We will begin in Atlanta, travel to Montgomery and Selma, Alabama, head over to Jackson, Mississippi, and end up in Memphis. We will likely be sleeping in a combination of churches, AirBnBs and hotels. A more detailed itinerary will be coming soon.
Cost: The cost is $100/person for students and includes airfare, lodging and most meals. Scholarships are available - just email Becca to learn more if you need one.
