Sacred Ground
Rob Merrill and I spoke of Sacred Ground during announcements this past Sunday. Sacred Ground is an incredible series of dialogue circles concerning our history in the United States. It includes history most of us have never learned. In an 11 part series of dialogues we read and view videos of astonishing happenings. It is a powerful message for all of us. Please consider joining us in this compelling and informative series. Below, are different options and links to register and more information. All take place via zoom every 2 weeks. As material is sensitive the groups are not interchangeable. Please feel free to email or call Tracy, Rob, or myself with any questions or concerns. Thank you and God Bless you, Deacon Kaye 719-660-0322 Rob Merrill 716-432-3195 A ministry of the Episcopal Church, Sacred Ground is a sensitive, prayerful resource that creates space for difficult but respectful and transformative dialogue on race and racism. Participants are invited 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. It holds as a guiding star the vision of beloved community—where all people are honored and protected and nurtured as beloved children of God. Four circles, hosted by clergy and lay leadership across the diocese, are now open for registration. Episcopalians across the state are invited to participate.
