The fifth and final episode of Pilgrimage: Manzanar, Memory, and Meaning gathers pastors, students, and public voices to reflect on the practice and purpose of pilgrimage.

Host Elise Kaneshiro speaks with Rev. Michele Turek, Dr. Jemar Tisby, and Charlie Sponsel about what it means to become community through remembrance, truth-telling, and solidarity. Their conversation traverses themes of belonging, interethnic witness, and faithful resistance—asking how pilgrimage forms the body of Christ across differences and generations.

From stories of shared meals to reflections on the journey together, Becoming Community explores how remembrance itself becomes an act of hope.
