Sacred Ground A film-based dialogue series on race and faith St. John the Baptist Episcopal Church will present a unique film-based dialogue series on race and faith called Sacred Ground. Sacred Ground is a ministry of the Episcopal Church and is a sensitive, prayerful resource that creates space for difficult but respectful and transformative dialogue on race and racism. It invites participants to walk back through history in order to peel away the layers that brought us to today, reflecting on family histories and stories, as well as important narratives that shape the collective American story. Sacred Ground also holds as a guiding star the vision of beloved community—where all people are honored and protected and nurtured as beloved children of God, where we weep at one another’s pain and seek one another’s flourishing. Those who choose to participate in this series will meet 11 times in 90-minute sessions every other week over the course of 20 weeks. There will be two facilitators, Deacon Gary Darress from Colorado Springs and Deacon Kaye Piper to lead the group, also known as a dialogue circle. We will meet on Zoom on Monday evenings from 6:30-8PM. This series will begin on Feb 13, 2023 with our last session on June 26. There is no cost to participate. There will be books that will need to be ordered by participants totaling approximately $32.00 each. In order to have the best experience ,space is limited to 8-10 people and is reserved on a first come first serve basis. In the event that there is more interest than that which can be accommodated there will be efforts made to begin another series after this one is completed. Questions?
