St Margaret's will offer an eleven-month Sacred Ground Course beginning Sunday, September 15, 2024, at 11:30 a.m. - 1:30 p.m. and ending with the final session on Sunday, July 13, 2025.
What is Sacred Ground?Sacred Ground is an 11-session course, a film- and readings-based dialogue series where participants 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 series is built around a robust online curriculum of documentary films and readings focusing on Indigenous, Black, LatinX, and Asian/Pacific American histories as they intersect with European American histories addressing the impact of these histories on all our lives today. Provides various theologians’ perspective about these histories, including what today’s Christians should be doing. 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 course can accommodate up to 16 participants who will meet for 11 monthly sessions after the 10:00 a.m. service from 11:30 a.m. - 1:30 p.m. in the Library on the second Sunday of the month to discuss the assigned materials and their own experiences.
