The Longest Walk: A Day Pilgrimage of Prayer, Lament, and Learning along The Trail of Tears
November 7 @ 2:00 pm - 4:00 pm
Free
There are places that call us
to slow our steps.
To stop and to remember.
To listen to the echoes
in the silence of a place.
Join folks from across our diocese at the Hiwassee River Heritage Center in Charleston, TN to walk the Voices from the Past trail. This ground, where the first steps were taken on the journey that would become known as the Trail of Tears, will hold us as we come together on this day to pray, lament, and learn together. Come ready to walk slowly, hold silence in community, and to learn in deeply honest ways.
