Registration Open for Online Session of Sacred Ground Beginning in September

The Diocese of South Carolina, through the Diocesan Commission on Racial Justice and Reconciliation, will once again offer a Zoom Sacred Ground Series beginning September 3, 2025. Sacred Ground is a film and readings-based dialogue series grounded in faith.  It was developed by The Episcopal Church as a part of the “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. 

Participants will gather on Wednesday evenings every other week from 6 to 7:30 pm. The first seven sessions will be covered from September 3-December 3 followed by a break for Christmas. The series will resume January 14 for three more Zoom sessions and a final in-person session on Saturday, February 28. Ready to sign up now? Register at this link.

There will be a Zoom introduction to Sacred Ground on Sunday, August 24, at 4 pm and anyone interested in learning more about Sacred Ground is encouraged to participate in this Zoom offering. A Zoom link will be shared closer to August 24. If you would like to receive the link for the August information session or if you have questions, please contact Tater Beak at: [email protected] or Gail DeCosta at: [email protected]

The Commission also encourages everyone to watch the short video below of former Presiding Bishop Michael Curry as he speaks about Sacred Ground. It can also be viewed at this link.
