The Salem Walk is a reflective spiritual journey that examines the Moravian Church’s involvement in slavery and racism during the first half-century of the Wachovia-Salem community. Participants explore the lives of three former enslaved individuals—Abraham (Sambo), Catherina (Cathy), and Phoebe—through guided walks led by trained narrators. These walks honor their contributions and lives while revisiting the spaces they inhabited. Inspired by the Sankofa Journey, Salem Walk fosters historical and spiritual reckoning, encouraging participants to confront painful truths, embrace shared humanity, and seek healing through Christ’s love and compassion. Since 2021, more than 115 people have joined this impactful experience.
Join the Moravian Team for Cultural, Ethnic and Racial Reconciliation (MTR) for the screening of a short film with interviews and reflections from the Salem Walk experience, and a discussion will follow with Salem Walk leaders, Rev. Dr. Neil Routh, and MTR video team.
