The Commission on the Beloved Community is offering a special invitation to the Believers in Action (BiA) of Carlisle UMC to participate in our upcoming 3rd Pilgrimage of Pain and Hope.Journeying as pilgrims in the communities where we live and serve, we will seek to be attentive to both the pain and the hope experienced by BIPOC (Black, Indigenous, and people of color) in the past and present day. By exploring and reflecting on the geography, history, and stories of the people we are called to serve, we aim to step transformed together into a future that is faithful.
During this three-day experiences, we will engage with the "geography of pain and hope" in our own backyard. Our itinerary includes visiting the Carlisle Indian School to explore the history of Indigenous peoples and the legacy of the boarding school system. Throughout Carlisle and Harrisburg, we will also confront the history of segregation and racial justice efforts in our region. Our goal is to reflect on these stories to deepen our collective commitment to building the Beloved Community within the Susquehanna Conference.
