Sacred Ground - A Film-Based Dialogue Series on Race and Faith

8/21/2021

 

Sacred Ground

​Join our Beloved Community by walking On Sacred Ground! Become a part of the more than 1,700 registered Sacred Ground circles to help raise our voices in dialogue on race.

​St. Mark’s has a storied history of activism, social justice, and community care. From joining the Civil Rights movement in 1965, to opening the Foxboro Food Pantry, and the New Trading Post, St. Mark’s parishioners have answered the call of doing God’s work in Foxboro and beyond. Sacred Ground is a way for us to continue our work... 

​...to transform our community, through meaningful examination of racial justice and inequity, forging a way forward in dialogue and reflection to better our connections and deepen our relationships. The foundational teachings of Jesus and the Episcopal Church are our guideposts in this imperative work.
​

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 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 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.

Won’t you join us in our commitment in action to “Do God’s Work”?

For more information please visit our booth at the Ministry Fair on Sunday, September 12th or contact Erin Hunter or Sandy Cordes-Vaughan.
