Sacred Ground is the Episcopal Church’s film & reading based dialogue series on race, racism & faith. “Circles” (i.e., small discussion groups of 6-12 people) provide the opportunity for difficult but respectful and transformative dialogue.
A new Sacred Ground circle (via Zoom), starts on Wednesday, October 22, 2025, 3-5 pm. The circle will meet every two weeks—same day & same time—for 12 sessions: Oct 22, Nov 5 & 19, Dec 3 & 17, Jan 7 & 21, Feb 4 & 18, Mar 4 & 18, Apr 1. The facilitators are the Rev. Susan Green and Nan Hardison.
The series is open to anyone with an interest in learning and discussing challenging issues in a safe space. 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 for faith, hope, mutual respect, and love.
The program assumes prior reading/viewing before each session. Selected materials are highly informative, stimulating, and transformative. Most study materials are available online.
Circles are open to EVERYONE in the diocese and beyond. If your parish has not yet organized a circle, or if you weren’t able to participate before, this is your chance! If you know of someone in the community-at-large who is interested, please share this info and invite them to join.
