New this year

“Re-Storying and Re-Covering: Coded Competencies in Theology, Faith and Wellness in African American Communities,” is a new learning institute co-hosted by Wake Forest University’s School of Divinity Faith COMPASS Center.

It’s free to partcipate, but registration is required to join in on conversations led by guest speakers.

The addition of Coded Competencies reflects the belief at the core of 1Love: storytelling has the power to heal, reclaim identity, and build community.
