About the
CARL SPAIN CENTER

The Center exists to conduct research on the historical and contemporary role of race and racism in the church and its Christian institutions, while heavily emphasizing spiritual formation by utilizing prayer, solitude, biblical meditation, and silence as methods to address racism that is often “spiritualized” in the hearts of Christians. Ultimately, the goal is to spark a rediscovery of a robust Christian spirituality that enables all Christ-followers to see human beings through the eyes of the divine creator.

More about The Center

SANKOFA

Sankofa is an African word from the Akan tribe in Ghana.

The word is derived from the words: SAN (return), KO (go), FA (look, seek, and take).

The power of Sankofa centers around this: to know history and your heritage is to know your current self, the world around you, and how to better both.
