“Sacred Ground” is a film and readings-based dialogue series on race, grounded in faith. Small groups are invited to walk through chapters of America’s history of race and racism, while weaving in threads of family story, economic class, and political and regional identity.

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” will be offered on a deanery level so that we might come together with various parishes throughout the area. We will meet on a monthly basis to allow plenty of time to do the personal work needed prior to our discussions. The introductory session will be from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Saturday, February 1. Lunch will be available. This session will be the longest as we will view a video together, learn about the group process, and begin our discussions.

Contact Canon Paige Hanks or Betsy Adams for more information. An introduction to the Sacred Ground series may be found here.
