Sacred Ground is a film- and reading-based dialogue series on race, grounded in faith. 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.
The Beloved Community Initiative sponsors Level 1 and Level 2 of this series, as well as training sessions for new leaders.
