SUMMARY:LARK Offering - May 2025
DESCRIPTION:LARK (Localized Anti-Racism Knowledge) began as a challenge from Bishop Susan Brown Snook. In February 2022 she asked the Racial Justice and Reconciliation Task Force (RJRTF) to develop a localized anti-racism workshop. Since anti-racism trainings are usually designed in other regions of the country\, they reflect their populations and histories. Our area has its own history\, issues\, and stories. LARK focuses on our local history and populations and deals with local issues and stories. Attendees will walk away with a better understanding of the local context in which we minister\, and begin to nurture the relationships and resilience necessary for advancing racial reconciliation and justice within our diocese. \nThe LARK workshop consists of the following major components: \n\nTruth telling of the local history of People of Color by way of an overview of the major racial/ethnic groups in our diocesan region.\nCase study of multi-faceted local issues by way of videos and discussion.\nIn-depth analysis and discussion of articles & videos regarding various local ongoing instances of racism.\nCommitment to engagement: Personal Plan of Action for each participant\, i.e.\, a commitment to specific follow-up actions and the choosing of a small group team for accountability.\nZoom meeting* to be scheduled approximately 4 weeks after the in-person workshop. The date and time will be announced closer to the workshop date. At this meeting\, participants will:\n\nreflect on their learning\nreport on any post-workshop activity\nfind next steps for their continued journey\n*Participants who are unable to attend this meeting can be given an alternate way of fulfilling this requirement upon request.\n\n\n\nThe purpose of this workshop is not simply to transmit information\, but to engage participants in a collective process of discovery. The progression of the workshop is scaffolded\, with the earlier activities creating a foundation for the later experiences. Full participation from beginning to end is assumed. \nParticipants must complete all components in order to become a LARK alumnus and fulfill diocesan anti-racism training requirements. \nLARK is one part of a lifelong journey for racial reconciliation and racial justice. Whether you are a novice or veteran in the areas of racial justice and reconciliation\, whether you are a Sacred Ground alum\, current Sacred Ground participant\, or have never even heard of Sacred Ground\, this LARK workshop is for you! All are encouraged to attend\, and all are welcome! \n\nNext offering: Friday\, May 2\, 3:30-8:30 PM & Saturday\, May 3\, 9:30-4:30 PM\, with a follow-up Zoom meeting TBD.\nWhere: St. Luke’s Episcopal Church\, 3725 30th St.\, San Diego\, CA 92104\nSign Up Deadline: Thursday April 24\, or when registration is full. The workshop is open to a maximum of 30 attendees.\n\nRegister Here\n

SUMMARY:Knowing Yourself Workshop - St. Luke's\, North Park
DESCRIPTION:Knowing Yourself: Ministry from a place of self-awareness – \n“The purposes in the human heart are deep waters; but the one who has insight draws them out.” Proverbs 20:5 \nAs followers of Jesus who are also formed in and by the world\, each of us ministers from a “social location.” This means that each of us see and understand God and the world through a lens shaped by our numerous identities such as ethnicity\, age\, immigration status\, education\, class\, gender and sexuality\, etc. Some of these identities we may be acutely aware of. Others may be less obvious to us. ALL aspects of our social location are useful to God. \nKnowing Yourself makes space for folks to consider all these pieces of their identity in order to:\n• name how they have been formed as bearers of God’s image\n• consider how their social location has equipped them for ministry\n• cultivate self-awareness in community to practice nurturing authentic relationships across lines of difference.\nWe hope you’ll join us for an afternoon of self-reflection and story-sharing. \nNames of facilitators will be available closer to the workshop.\nRegistration is open to a maximum of 30 people and will close promptly on April 27\, 2025 at 9 PM\, or when it is full.\n*This training fulfills one of the requirements for lay licensing. \nRegister HERE\n

SUMMARY:A Special Movie Event – A Case for Love\, Pt. 1
DESCRIPTION:You’re Invited: A Special Movie Event – A Case for Love \nIn a time when our world feels increasingly divided\, A Case for Love invites us to explore a powerful question: Can unselfish love heal what divides us? \nInspired by Bishop Michael Curry—known for his moving sermon on “The Power of Love” at the royal wedding of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle—this documentary journeys across the U.S.\, uncovering stories of everyday people living selflessly. Through heartfelt interviews with individuals\, public figures like Pete Buttigieg\, Al Roker\, and Sam Waterston\, and reflections from Bishop Curry himself\, the film explores love in action across topics like racial justice\, military service\, foster care\, food insecurity\, and more. \nDirector Brian Ide shares that the film was born from a personal calling to respond to the growing disunity in our culture. With Bishop Curry’s words as a guide— “When love is the way… there’s plenty of room for all of God’s children”—the documentary invites us all to reflect: Is unselfish love truly the antidote we’ve been searching for? \nWe’ll be watching the film in three segments\, giving space for reflection\, discussion\, and connection. Your presence is welcome and meaningful\, whether you can attend one session or all three. Each session stands on its own\, so you won’t miss out if life gets in the way one week! \nMovie Schedule (2:00 – 3:30 PM):\n– Part 1: Saturday\, May 31\n– Part 2: Saturday\, June 14\n– Part 3: Saturday\, June 21 \nEach session begins in the church sanctuary for the film viewing\, followed by refreshments and group discussion in the Parish Hall. \nLocation: All Saints Episcopal Church\n651 Eucalyptus Ave.\nVista\, CA 92084 \nRSVP helpful but not required: office@allsaintsvista.org  \n“If it’s not about love\, it’s not about God.” -Bishop Michael Curry \n“And now these three remain: faith\, hope\, and love. But the greatest of these is love.” -1 Corinthians 13:13 \nCome for the message. Come for the fellowship. Come for the love.\nLet’s explore together what it means to live a life guided by grace and goodness.
