What is Truth? is a formation series created to accompany groups during the season of Lent (and beyond). This Lenten series offers an opportunity to deepen spiritually; engage in embodied practices that allow for deeper knowledge of self, God, and others; and build resilience in preparation for conversations about reparations within the Episcopal Diocese of Massachusetts.

A bit of background: In 2021, our Diocesan Convention passed a resolution,“ Charting the Long Road Towards Reparations,” which calls on the Episcopal Diocese of Massachusetts to commit 2022 as a year of study, gathering, sharing stories and discernment. This Lenten forum, developed by the Reparations Subcommittee of the Racial Justice Commission of our Diocese provides a spiritual grounding for conversations not just about reparations, but about racism and social justice.

We have reworked the curriculum of this course to have one hour sessions (instead of two) and to emphasize content that will build community and conversation around our context here at Good Shepherd. Each session includes prayer, Scripture or contemporary sources for reflection, embodied spiritual practices, questions to ponder, and resources to deepen the learning.

In light of our Vestry and Mission Outreach Committee’s commitment to exploring racial justice as a congregation, we invite you to join Rev. Ellie and Deacon Ken in this provocative Lenten forum.

Please join us at 11:30am beginning this Sunday- either in person, or on Zoom.
