Sacred Ground
01/27/2021 - 04/07/2021 from 6:30 pm - 8:30 pm
- From January 27 through April 7, the Diocese of Indianapolis Union of Black Episcopalians and the diocesan Racial Justice and Education Team will co-sponsor Sacred Ground, a dialogue series about race developed by the Episcopal Church.
Sacred Ground is rooted in faith and includes readings, documentary film and short videos. “Small groups are invited to walk through chapters of America’s history of race and racism, while weaving in threads of family story, economic class, and political and regional identity,” reads the Episcopal Church’s Sacred Ground webpage.
The diocesan-wide Sacred Ground discussion will meet Wednesdays from 6:30 to 8:30 p.m. via Zoom for a total of 11 sessions.
The series will be facilitated by Mariann Scott and Deacon Cathy Scott. Please contact Deacon Cathy Scott with any questions.
Register online for Sacred Ground.
The Sacred Ground program was launched last year by Becoming Beloved Community, the Episcopal Church’s long-term initiative on racial healing, reconciliation, and justice. Created by Katrina Browne, producer and director of the documentary “Traces of the Trade: A Story from the Deep North,” Sacred Ground is especially intended to help white people talk with each other about racism past and present, their own racial identity, and issues of class, region and ideology.
Learn more about Sacred Ground on the Episcopal Church website.

TRINITY DISCIPLESHIP GROUPS
These ongoing groups meet regularly and are typically closed to others once the group has formed. Intended to be small and personal, these groups focus on praying and sharing spiritual life together.
Nadia Bolz Weber, modern theologian and minister says “Gather in a small number of people regularly to simply share a meal and pray together. Talk about your lives and what is happening in the world. Be yourselves.”
We think this is a great description of what a discipleship group entails. Gather together, check in with one another, read some scripture together, discuss it and discuss what’s happening in the world, and pray for each other. We hope you will consider being part of one of these forming Discipleship groups. It is groups like this that will help us celebrate the joys and the concerns we carry on our hearts and it’s groups like this that are sorely needed, especially in this time.
If you would like to join a Discipleship group, please fill out this form. If you have any questions please feel free to email Mother Erin or Father Ben.
