The 10-part series is built around a powerful online curriculum of documentary films and readings that focus on Indigenous, Black, Latino, and Asian/Pacific American histories as they intersect with European American histories.

Sacred Ground is part of Becoming Beloved Community, The Episcopal Church’s long-term commitment to racial healing, reconciliation, and justice in our personal lives, our ministries, and our society. This series is open to all, and especially designed to help white people talk with other white people. Participants are invited to peel away the layers that have contributed to the challenges and divides of the present day – all while grounded in our call to faith, hope and love.

Beloved, let us love one another (1 John 4:7) and explore this important issue together as part of our ongoing commitment to God, our parish, and our community. The ten-session dialogue series will be held on the last Sunday of each month, from February to November, at 4:30 PM. The dialogue will be conducted in hybrid format (in the Farmhouse and via Zoom).

There are two core books that participants will need for the series. They are Waking Up White by Debby Irving and Jesus and the Disinherited by Dr. Howard Thurman. These may be purchased at most bookstores or online. To register, please click here.
