A shared experience in Alabama

In early October, Adventist Forum hosted a tour of some of Alabama’s most prominent civil right memorials and museums. The coordinator of the event graciously invited members of the Adventist Peace Fellowship to attend the experience. Marci Corea (University Peace Chapter Coordinator) was there with other humble learners.

Adventist Voices host Alex Carpenter also attended the tour and took some time to interview Marci about her experience. He asked all the right questions, and she and shared stories from the trip as well as her passion and love of peacemaking and justice work. We think you’ll enjoy learning more about the Peace Fellowship and discovering how accessible it is to become an active peacemaker like Marci in your own community. Episode link here.
