2026 Sacred Ground Sign Up
 Sign Up Information for "Sacred Ground" Small Group Formations

Sacred Ground is part of the Beloved Community Initiative, the Episcopal Church’s long-term commitment to racial healing, reconciliation, and justice in our personal lives, our ministries, and our society.

There will be sessions of Sacred Ground going on at various locations throughout this new year.  Please encourage friends, family, fellow parishioners and other congregations or faith based groups to participate. There are some very significant changes to the curriculum for this coming year of Sacred Ground.  The changes to Level 1 were based on feedback from the surveys from participants around the nation (less readings, more up to date articles, more discussion time, etc.).  "Sacred Ground" Level 2 is for those who took Sacred Ground and want a deeper dive into the content with much more dialogue, more research and a focus on individual or collective action.  The level 2 sessions consist of 7 sessions.  

If there is an interest in parishes wanting to host a Scared Ground Level 1 or 2 later in the year, please contact Shahnaz Alam-Denlinger at s.alamdenlinger@episcopalpgh.org.  She will facilitate the training of new leaders who want to lead these new sessions with the created content.  All of the sessions will be made available via zoom.
