The Church of the Brethren Intercultural Ministries is presenting a webinar titled “Sankofa Storytelling Event” on Thursday, Feb. 26, at 2 p.m. (Eastern time).
“We would like to tell you a story,” said an invitation. “We want to tell you about the people from our small community who have come together ‘to seek the coming kingdom, participate in the multiethnic mosaic, and pursue biblical justice.’ These travelers are on a journey toward healing…. Won’t you join us as we share our stories?”
The Sankofa journey begins with readings, recordings, and discussions, includes a bus ride through Atlanta, Montgomery, Selma, Birmingham, and Memphis, and sends disciples to tell the story of our struggle to be the Beloved Community.
Stone Church of the Brethren in Huntingdon, Pa., has partnered with members and friends of Payne Church in Huntingdon, Bethel A.M.E. Church in Mount Union, University Baptist and Brethren Church in State College, State College Friends Meeting, and Alabaster House in Mill Creek. Stone Church has sent more than eight cross-racial pairs—two-by-two—to board the bus for the Sankofa journey, look back at our nation’s racial history, and move forward together in truth and in love.
