Venue : Scarritt Bennett Center

Scarritt Bennett Center was organized in 1988 as a nonprofit conference, retreat, and educational center. It is the legacy institution of Scarritt College for Christian Workers and continues to provide transformational faith education that empowers organizing and activism around issues of racism and inequality. Our conference center opens its doors in a radical hospitality to people of great ethnic and faith diversity. It is a place where people who are not alike and who do not agree can come to dialogue and grow in their understanding of each other. Our campus includes, not only our conference center, but also the Virginia Davis Research Library and Archives, a 7-circuit labyrinth, historic Wightman Chapel, and art gallery.
