A Prayer for the
Unity of the Church
O God the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, our only Savior, the Prince of Peace: Give us grace seriously to lay to heart the great dangers we are in by our unhappy divisions; take away all hatred and prejudice, and whatever else may hinder us from Godly union and concord; that, as there is but one Body and one Spirit, one hope of our calling, one Lord, one Faith, one Baptism, one God and Father of us all, so we may be all of one heart and of one soul, united in one holy bond of truth and peace, of faith and charity, and may with one mind and one mouth glorify you; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
Book of Common Prayer, p. 818

Sacred Ground:
A Film-Based Dialogue Series on Race and Faith
New Groups forming now!
Are you interested in gathering with a group to go deeper in your understanding of race and faith? 29 participants recently completed the zoom based program. Learn more about the program here.
Participants say:
“I reflect on what we share in group for days afterwards.”
“The material in this program is not easy as we grapple with reading about the historical sufferings…”
“Even on Zoom you can feel the energizing effect as people wrestle, often painfully, with the awful truths of our nation’s racism.”
“There’s not sufficient way to express the impact Sacred Ground has had on me, and which will continue the rest of my life”
Churches across the diocese are now forming Sacred Ground Circles. Another diocesan-wide Zoom based circle will begin meeting on September 10.
To register for the Sacred Ground Circle that begins on September 10, call the office for information.
The deadline for registering is September 3rd .
