Sacred Ground Dialogue Circle

St. Paul’s Outreach Committee is excited to offer another round of Sacred Ground, a dialogue series that we have successfully hosted several times in the past. 

Anyone interested in participating, facilitating, or simply learning more about the curriculum is invited to attend a brief informational meeting during coffee hour on Sunday, August 9. The meeting has been rescheduled, and we hope you’ll join us!

The Sacred Ground curriculum has been updated since we last offered it at St. Paul’s, so even those who have participated in previous cohorts may find it worthwhile to join again and engage with the new material and conversations.

The Sacred Ground sessions will meet every other week via Zoom, with the day and time determined by what works best for the group.

If you have questions or are unable to attend the informational meeting, please reach out to Jaimie Deye for more information.

Sacred Ground is an anti-racism curriculum developd by the Episcopal Church.

What is Sacred Ground?

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 11-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.
