Sixth and last in our series, Sacred Ground is now open for our March 25th registration. We invite you to a year-long film-based dialogue series on race called Sacred Ground. This series is designed for our times and is an attempt to respond to the profound challenges of our current times surrounding race and racism, and hopes to foster the difficult but respectful and transformative dialogue we need to have with each other about them. On the fourth Wednesday, March 25th we will gather in Pilgrim Hall for a light supper, film, and discussion.
