Why are Fellows expected to attend the CCDA conference in the fall?
The Christian Community Development Association is a national organization committed to the principles of urban ministry and racial reconciliation. It was co-founded by Spencer’s father, Dr. John M. Perkins, and continues to be the prime entity through which the Perkins family, and a host of others, promote social change in America. The annual conference provides Fellows with critical information about urban ministry and racial reconciliation and hosts closing activities for the Fellowship program.
