Sacred Ground
As part of our Becoming Beloved Community initiative, we once again invite you to participate in this 10-part series developed by The Episcopal Church called Sacred Ground. This film-and readings-based dialogue series will focus on examining the history of racism and the struggle for racial justice in our country. The syllabus will explore Indigenous, Black, Latino, and Asian/Pacific American histories as they intersect with European American histories.
Group(s) will meet every Tuesday from 6:30 pm - 8:30 pm. Each session will two hours and will require several hours of preparation, either reading or watching video(s). Participants will be given access to a website with links to each month's films in order to watch them at home before the monthly discussions. Our Dialogue Circle will be facilitated by Betsy Schram.
Every Tuesday beginning September 12 from 6:30 pm - 8:30 pm
There is no registration cost and the majority of the materials will be available for free. However, there are two books that we will reference throughout the series that you will need to read in advance, Jesus and the Disinherited by Howard Thurman and Waking Up White, and Finding Myself in the Story of Race by Debby Irving. Those interested in participating are encouraged to Register Now Once you have registered you will receive an email with required reading and information on how to purchase those two books.
