SACRED GROUND SECOND ROUND Coming January 2025
Island churches and faith communities are invited to explore inter-racial understanding of American history and current events through participation in Sacred Ground Second Round – 2025. Sacred Ground is a film and reading based dialogue series on race, grounded in faith. The 11 part series is built around documentaries and texts that focus on Indigenous, Black, Latino and Asian-Pacific histories as they intersect with European American histories. Over 120 islanders participated in the first Sacred Ground program sponsored by the Episcopal Church during COVID. The past participants are now encouraging others to take advantage of this second offering of the course that begins in January 2025.
