SUMMARY:Justice Pilgrimage (Private Group)
DESCRIPTION:📅  Perkins Justice Pilgrimage (Private Group)\nThe next Perkins Justice Pilgrimage is scheduled for February 18th – 22nd and will be led by Elizabeth Perkins with a private group. \nThis immersive experience is far more than a historical tour—it’s a spiritual pilgrimage through the landscape of the Civil Rights Movement and the theology of justice and reconciliation. Participants will engage in deep dialogue\, site visits to pivotal locations in Mississippi\, and time with the Perkins family and other movement leaders. \nOriginally inspired by Dr. John M. Perkins’ seminal work Let Justice Roll Down\, the PJP invites leaders\, learners\, and faith communities to explore how our past informs our purpose\, and how justice and faith walk hand-in-hand. \nThough this session is closed to the public\, we encourage groups of 12–20 to consider scheduling a custom pilgrimage in the future. \n👉 To learn more or inquire about future dates\, visit https://jvmpf.org/perkins-justice-pilgrimage/
