Sacred Ground

“If you’ve come this far, chances are your heart has been broken. You’ve wished for ways to heal the wounds of racism, wounds we all bear…You’ve wondered what it will take for America to engage in changing hearts as well as laws. You’ve followed the news and social media, perhaps marched and prayed, and wondered again and again, “What can I do with a problem so huge?” . . . You are not alone. The Episcopal Church is in the midst of an unprecedented, sustained focus on racial justice and reconciliation.”

If these words from The Reverend Canon Stephanie Spellers resonate with you, join us on October 19 to discern a call to join our next Sacred Ground circle at St. Peter’s.

Sacred Ground is a dialogue series on race, grounded in faith. Groups, called circles, meet together for eleven sessions and, together, walk back through history in order to peel away the layers that brought us to today, and to do so in a personal way, reflecting on family histories and stories, as well as important narratives that shape the collective American story. The experience is life-changing, and this feels like the necessary next step for our anti-racism commitment at St. Peter’s.

Is God calling you to Sacred Ground? Learn more about Sacred Ground on Sunday, October 19. We will get an overview of the program and sessions as well as hear from those who participated in the 2023-2024 circle at St. Peter’s.
