Sacred Ground Series

​

Epiphany’s Vestry and Racial Justice Group and members of Holy Trinity Parish are participating in the Sacred Ground dialogue series, part of The Episcopal Church’s Becoming Beloved Community initiative on racial reconciliation. Sacred Ground is a 10 session dialogue series on race, grounded in faith. The series is built around a powerful online curriculum of documentary films and readings that focus in Indigenous, Black, Latino, and Asian/Pacific Islander American histories as they intersect with European American histories. The curriculum confronts the historical roots of systemic racism and examines how that history still shapes American institutions and social interactions today.

 

While registration is closed to new participants, the series includes two core books Waking Up White by Debby Irving, and Jesus and the Disinherited by Dr. Howard Thurman that you may which to read.

Tract Rack

Our Tract Rack is located just inside the red doors of our church. These little booklets are for you to take home. A donation is requested, but if you don’t have the means at the time, please feel free to help yourself. There is a wide variety of well written and thoughtful short booklets. We hope you will use this resource in your daily devotions, spiritual journey, or just to consider questions you’ve always wanted to explore.
