The revival will begin at St. John’s Reformed Episcopal Church where we will engage in prayers, liturgical dancers and singing together, as we pray for unity, healing and peace.

We will fellowship. We will break bread. We will sing. We will dance.
We will gather in one accord for Remembrance, Forgiveness, Repentance, Reconciliation, Unity and Revival.

Blow the trumpet in Zion; consecrate a fast; call a solemn assembly; gather the people.

Joel 2. 15-16

Cry out in prayer
for unity & peace

We believe God is calling all people of faith to demonstrate His love by pushing back against hatred and division. If we humbly cry out to Him in prayer, turn from sin, and forgive one another, He will hear us and heal our city, bringing unity and peace to Charleston for His glory.

If we respond to this calling in obedience, we will see healing like we’ve never seen before and revival beyond anything we can ask or imagine.

The solution is simple, yet the task before us will be difficult.

One New Humanity Vision

We exist to proclaim and pursue the Lord’s work of bringing repentance, forgiveness, reconciliation, and unity to His people, for the manifestation of His glory in our Lord Jesus Christ.

Repentance

We turn from sins of racism and resentment deeply rooted in our communities, churches and families.

Forgiveness

While we were yet sinners, Christ died for us, so now we too can forgive those who have sinned against us.

Reconciliation

While forgiveness doesn’t erase the past, it allows our wounds to heal so we can move forward as one.

Unity

We will experience unity when we repent of our sins, ask for forgiveness, and heal our wounds through reconciliation.

For he himself is our peace, who has made us both one and has broken down in his flesh the dividing wall of hostility…that he might create in himself one new man in place of the two, so making peace.

Ephesians 2:14-15

About One New Humanity

Our Story

Sunday, May 30, 2020, during protests against racial injustice, two church leaders from different backgrounds and denominations, yet one faith, came together with their congregations to preach a “sermon duet” about reconciliation. They asked what we can do in Charleston to heal the racial divide in the city. There was a deep cry for peace and unity, but how?

Through a series of meetings of asking God for direction, along with an honest discussion, One New Humanity Charleston was formed. The Prayer Procession and Solemn Assembly would then become the launching point for the organization, as it will bring together thousands of people from diverse backgrounds to pray for healing, peace and unity through repentance, forgiveness and reconciliation.

Charleston may have a shameful past, but it has also seen revival before. We believe our best days are ahead. While some seek to divide, we will unite. We will answer hatred with love and compassion. We work toward reconciliation, not retribution. Forgiveness is the greatest gift we have ever received, and it is how the wounds of our history will be healed. If we humble ourselves and repent, then ask God for forgiveness, He will heal our land and bring revival again!
