FAITH IN INDIANA – PARTNERING FOR IMPACT

The Diocese of Indianapolis and our congregations amplify our voice and impact on our communities by partnering with Faith in Indiana (previously known as the Indianapolis Congregational Action Network). Faith in Indiana is an ecumenical and interfaith organization that works on behalf of poor and marginalized people for social change. Together we helped pass a mass transit funding referendum in Indianapolis to make it easier for people without cars to get and keep jobs. Together we prevailed on the mayor of Indianapolis to cease illegal ICE detainers in Indianapolis jails. Today Faith in Indiana prioritizes ending the mass incarceration of people of color, providing adequate healthcare for all people, and opposing government policies and actions that tear immigrant families apart. 

In a spirit of looking beyond ourselves and acknowledging God’s presence across the globe, the Episcopal Diocese of Indianapolis seeks ministry partners wherever God leads. We seek partnerships that are sustainable; that draw from the local potential of the community; and focus on being in a mutual, meaningful, transformative relationship.

Sacred Ground is dialogue series on race, grounded in faith. Small groups are invited to walk through chapters of America’s history of race, racism, and whiteness while weaving in threads of family story, economic class, and political and regional identity. The 10-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 a resource coming out 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. This series is especially designed to help white people talk with other white people, while being open to all racial/ethnic groups. Participants are invited to peel away the layers that have contributed to the challenges and divides of the present day – all while grounded in our call to faith, hope and love.
