Learn more about a Congregational Resource: Sacred Ground

[ENS] Individuals or groups interested in learning more about Sacred Ground: a film-based dialogue series on race and faith, are invited to an introductory webinar hosted by Katrina Browne, Sacred Ground curriculum developer, and producer/director of the acclaimed documentary, Traces of the Trade: A Story from the Deep North. Browne will also be providing this information in the Diocese of Fond du Lac at the Traces of the Trade Gathering on April 13 in Stevens Point.
 
Built around a curriculum of powerful documentary films, videos, and readings, Sacred Ground is a 10-part series that considers some of the major chapters of the United States of America’s history of race and racism.  It focuses on Indigenous, Black, Latino, and Asian American histories as they intersect with European American histories.  It also invites participants to weave in the threads of personal and family story, economic class, and political and regional identity.
 
In this webinar, Katrina Browne shares the “why and how” of the Sacred Ground series. She also walks participants through the online Sacred Ground curriculum and resources, including the password-protected pages, to provide participants with an overview of all the elements of this resource. There will also be time for questions.

Sacred Ground: New dialogue series from The Episcopal Church exploring race and faith | Episcopal Church

“More than a teaching tool, Sacred Ground calls us into intentional, sustained circles in which we can pray, watch, share our own stories, reflect, wonder, reckon, heal, and commit to action.  Think of it as a pilgrimage in place,” notes the Rev. Canon Stephanie Spellers.
