Flourish Travels: Southern Justice Experience
You are cordially invited to Sankofa, a southern justice pilgrimage. We will begin in Atlanta, GA, then travel by coach bus to the historical sites of Montgomery, Birmingham, and Selma, Alabama, then on to Memphis Tennessee, and end back in Atlanta.
This sacred pilgrimage lays the foundation for the spiritual practices of remembrance, confession, lament, and repentance. It mobilizes Christians to sacrificially love our neighbors and spiritual siblings, seek the peace and prosperity of communities, and become repairers of the breach. Sankofa is an invitation to understand racial righteousness as a critical component of our Christian identity. It is an immersive discipleship experience that equips believers to seek the coming Kingdom, participate in the multiethnic mosaic and pursue biblical justice.
