Pilgrimage Through the Pandemic
A Series for Learning, Reflection, and Transformation
DurhamCares invites you to join us for four conversations dealing with some of the ways COVID-19 has impacted the community. These conversations will feature directly impacted people and experts in their field sharing their experiences, reflections, data and research. Our overarching question is the one that frames the Durham Pilgrimage of Pain and Hope: how is your story, the story of Durham, and God’s story being played out in the midst of this pandemic? Other guiding questions, inspired by the practice of pilgrimage, will be: Whose story is being told and whose story is not being told? Where do we see places for lament and where do we see hope?
