Sacred Ground is an 11-part series on race, grounded in faith. Part of The Episcopal Church’s commitment to Becoming Beloved Community, Sacred Ground uses documentary films and readings to walk small groups through chapters of America’s history of race and racism, while inviting participants to weave in their own family stories. More than 350 people have participated in Sacred Ground circles through the Diocese of Long Island, and the program will be offered again beginning in February 2025.
- 11 meetings over 11 weeks
- Virtual or local, in-person options available
- Roughly 3 hours of preparation per session
- A next step in realizing Beloved Community in Brooklyn, Queens, and Long Island

"I am asking every parish of the diocese to engage the Sacred Ground curriculum, both in the congregation and in the neighborhood and wider community. Reconciliation can only happen when awareness is clear, hearts and minds changed... This is gospel work, and it is our ministry to accomplish creating Beloved Community."
– Bishop Lawrence Provenzano
