Coordinated by Matt Freeman and Canon Brandon Peete, all are invited to join in discussion about “The Heart of Christianity” by Marcus Borg.

FAST House Meeting
Register for a house meeting here: spcathedral.org/fast
It’s time for another round of social justice work to improve our communities through the work of FAST. This organization — Faith and Action for Strength Together — comprises more than 40 faith communities in Pinellas County that identify significant problems, work to develop solutions, and gain support of government officials. House meetings are a crucial part of the listening process. This is an opportunity for you to share issues and concerns. The data from the Cathedral’s house meetings, along with hundreds of others across the county, are compiled. That information is used to see which justice issues rise to the top that we may choose to tackle for the upcoming year.
Last year, you may recall, our top priorities were affordable housing, the creation of an adult diversion program for non-dangerous driving offenses, and the creation of green infrastructure to improve water quality.
During House meetings, you will also learn more about what it means to become a Justice Network member with FAST. The meetings last about 90 minutes and follow a streamlined script to keep the conversation moving. Lunch (subs, chips, drinks) will be available for $5. Childcare is available upon request.

Sacred Ground Information Session
Register for the Zoom meeting here.
Sacred Ground is a film-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 the threads of family story, economic class, and political and regional identity. Meeting dates and times will be determined by the participants.
The 11-part series is built around a powerful online curriculum of documentary films and readings that focus on Indigenous, Black, Latino, and Asian/ Pacific American histories as they intersect with European-American histories. Sacred Ground is part of Becoming Beloved Community, the Episcopal Church’s long-term commitment to racial healing, reconciliation, and justice in our personal lives, our ministries, and our society. The series is open to all, and is especially designed to help white people talk to other white people. Participants are invited to peel away the layers that have contributed to the challenges and divides of our present day — all while grounded in our call to faith, hope, and love.
For more information, contact Betsy Adams (betsygadams@icloud.com).
Sacred Ground is an attempt to respond to the profound challenges in our society around race and racism, as well as the difficult but respectful and transformative dialogue we need to have with each other about them. It invites participants to walk back through history in order to peel away the layers that brought us to today, and to do so in a personal way.
There is no charge. All are welcome, whether you are well-versed in these issues or are just beginning the journey.
