Introduction to Sacred Ground

Welcome to Sacred Ground, a transformative film-based dialogue series on race and faith. At Iglesia Cristiana Getsemani, we believe in fostering meaningful conversations that address the complexities surrounding race and faith. Through this powerful series, we provide a safe and inclusive space for individuals from all walks of life to engage in open discussions, explore personal experiences, and learn from one another.

Join Our Thought-Provoking Dialogue Series

Our Sacred Ground dialogue series is designed to challenge preconceived notions, promote empathy, and encourage personal growth. By utilizing thought-provoking films as a starting point, we delve into the multifaceted topics of race, faith, social justice, and reconciliation. Our goal is to create a space where diverse perspectives can come together, fostering a deeper understanding of the complexities that shape our world.

The Power of Film in Uncovering Truths

Films have a unique ability to captivate, educate, and inspire. Through carefully selected movies that explore race and faith, we harness this power to spark meaningful conversations. Each film acts as a catalyst, provoking thoughts and emotions that open doors to self-reflection, introspection, and personal growth.

We understand the importance of acknowledging and embracing diverse perspectives in order to foster understanding and create a more unified community. Our Sacred Ground dialogue series provides a dedicated space where individuals of all backgrounds, ages, and beliefs can come together to share their experiences, challenges, and aspirations.

Engage in Constructive Discourse

The Sacred Ground dialogue sessions are structured to facilitate constructive discourse. By creating an environment that encourages active listening and respectful communication, we aim to foster understanding, empathy, and positive action. Our knowledgeable facilitators guide participants through the films, allowing space for critical analysis, deep reflection, and the opportunity to grow collectively as a community.
