On October 2-4, Christian Churches Together will gather in Montgomery, Alabama for its 2019 Annual Convocation. We invite you to be a part of an historic moment of lament and hope in national and global history — the Quad-Centennial of the forced Transatlantic voyage of enslaved African people to Jamestown, Virginia (USA). The Convocation plans include visiting the National Memorial for Peace and Justice (National Lynching Memorial) and worshiping at the historic Dexter Avenue King Memorial Baptist Church.
More InformationThis year’s Christian Unity Gathering (of the National Council of Churches) will be an extraordinary occasion. The theme is “Ending Racism: Confronting Our Past, Revisiting our Present, and Naming God’s Preferred Future. And, we will gather and hold a ceremony at the location in Hampton, Virginia where the first Africans arrived in North America 400 years ago.
