As the church works to decolonize and fully embody its commitment to collective liberation, being in right relationship with Episcopalians of color is imperative. This webinar will share experiences of creating sacred space for people of color in relation to the dominant culture structures of The Episcopal Church. Hear about the grassroots organization, truth-telling, and collaborative self-determination of the Circles of Color in the Episcopal Diocese of Olympia, as well as ways dioceses are supporting the intersectionality of racial justice and care of creation. Other stories and subversive strategies from multicultural and Indigenous experiences of The Episcopal Church will be shared.

Last October, over 90 full-hearted and courageous leaders gathered in Los Angeles to explore new ways of planting, nurturing, and renewing church communities. We shared in rich conversation, networking, worship, and exploration… and we enjoyed it so much that we want to do it again!

Please join us at our host church, Grace Episcopal, in Yukon, Oklahoma, May 13-16 as we continue this ever-deepening journey of practicing new possibilities for the sake of love! 

We are intentionally making this event smaller, so that there is space to focus even more on the opportunities, challenges, and learning that are important to you. Space is limited to 30 participants, so register soon!

David Rice, bishop of the Episcopal Diocese of San Joaquin; House of Deputies President Julia Ayala Harris; and the Rev. Anthony Guillén, missioner for Latino/Hispanic Ministries.
