Sankofa 2019 Journey to Harmony
We have a dream…
That pastors of the Twin Cities would pursue racial harmony by exploring in depth our troubled past so we can move forward and fulfill our calling to oneness as the Body of Christ. This intentionally multi-ethnic, experiential, and spiritual journey will take us to important places and moments in the Civil Rights movement where together we’ll mourn, learn, understand, repent, pray, and find hope to build bridges and stand in the gap as peacemakers. Together we can be the voices that promote healing and harmony in our fractured churches, cities and nation.
