About the
CARL SPAIN CENTER

Inspired by the life and teachings of Jesus, the center calls Christians to participate in the hope of racial unity. Out of our commitment to racial unity, the Carl Spain Center seeks to address the hearts, minds, and souls of all Christians through an engagement in spiritual disciplines, critical inquiry, and compassionate dialogue. In an increasingly divided age, the Carl Spain Center creates spaces where spiritual formation, engaged research, and diverse community happen together.

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.

CARL SPAIN EVENTS

In our programming, the Carl Spain Center facilitates robust conversations that promote racial unity through spiritual formation and critical inquiry.

Observing the current moment reveals a desperate need for leadership that can model the boundary-defying and unifying teachings of Jesus to the Church and nation. The Carl Spain Center is uniquely equipped to help meet this need and lead the ACU community and Christian church towards unity. Please consider supporting our work as we strive towards unity, and continue to write our story that began almost seven years ago. Together, we will be catalysts for spiritual formation and social change in our religious communities!
