This pilgrimage will take us into the heart of the civil rights movement as experienced in the 60's and onward, as well as challenge us to take our experiences into our own day.

This pilgrimage is co-sponsored by the Centers for Christian Studies and the Commission to Dismantle Racism.
This pilgrimage is based on the one sponsored for young people of the diocese. Our journeys will include such places as the 16th St. Church and the Civil Rights Museum in Birmingham, a walk across the bridge in Selma, possibly attending a Sunday School class with Jimmy Carter, Memphis and Montgomery.
Glenda McDowell, parishioner at St. Matthias, will help with the leadership of the pilgrimage.
Dates: July 12-18 or July 13-19 (depending on Jimmy Carter's Sunday School Schedule)
Cost: $500. per person (based on 22 people using 2 diocesan church vans &
double
occupancy) Cost includes room, complimentary breakfast, gas for vans
and admission costs. Does not include lunch and dinner.

The pre-requisite for participating in this pilgrimage is to have attended a workshop on Dismantling Racism.
