“Sacred Ground is about freedom. It’s about the joyful liberty of the children of God.” — Presiding Bishop Michael Curry
Sacred Ground is an 11-part film-based antiracism curriculum for small-group discussions. It was developed as a resource to learn about the history of racism in the United States and how that racism continues to manifest itself today in American social interactions and institutions, including the church. The curriculum contains documentary films and readings that focus on Indigenous, Black, Latino, Asian and Pacific Islander histories as they intersect with European American histories. Participants also examine examples of systemic racism in today’s America, such as mass incarceration and its disproportionate effect on people of color.
St. Luke’s and St. Martin’s will partner in hosting a Sacred Ground Circle, starting Sunday, 20 October, 12:30pm at St. Luke’s. Deadline to register: Sunday, 6 October.
