Chris Rice, the co-director of the Center for Reconciliation at the Divinity School, who led the group, said, “None of us will be the same. The weaving together of truth and grace was unusual and powerful. As we reached home and gathered for a final prayer, one pilgrim said, ‘If every Duke seminarian did this pilgrimage it would change the world. Really.’"
Hope in the Cities and Richmond Hill retreat center hosted the event and shared the stories of the two organizations which have worked together for nearly twenty years with the vision that Richmond, a place where racism in its worst form began in America, could be the place where healing begins.
