Sacred Ground is a film and readings-based dialogue series on race, grounded in faith. It was developed by The Episcopal Church as a part of “Becoming Beloved Community” and is designed to promote racial understanding, justice and reconciliation. The materials focus on Black, Indigenous, Latino & Asian-Pacific histories as they intersect with European American histories. Sacred Ground is being offered in The Episcopal Diocese of South Carolina by the Diocesan Commission on Racial Justice & Reconciliation.

Sacred Ground sessions will be offered every two Thursdays on Zoom, beginning on September 7. Sessions 1-5 will be held September 7 & 21, October 5 & 19, and November 9. Sessions 6-10 will be held at the beginning of 2024 on the following dates: January 11 & 25, February 8 & 22, and March 7. Each session on Zoom will begin at 6 pm.

If more than one person in a household will be taking the course, it is recommended that you log in from individual devices.
