Circle of the Beloved: The Episcopal Service Corps in Minnesota
Meet the fellows by watching this video!

The Director and Board of Circle of the Beloved, a branch of The Episcopal Service Corps in Minneapolis, are profoundly grateful to Bishop Craig Loya and members of the ECMN Task Force for the generous grant that support our mission to equip, engage and inspire young adults to lead the work of racial healing and build the beloved community in North Minneapolis.

Kinship
​Instead of operating from a benefactor paradigm of “us” helping “them,” we acknowledge our innate kinship, where all sides give and receive based on our mutual gifts and needs. 
Rule of Life
​​We will craft a rule of life together that encourages holy listening and prayer, simplicity, a ministry of presence, and active justice-making in our neighborhoods.
​Reconciliation
​We will embark on a journey of racial, socioeconomic, and spiritual reconciliation, grounded in following the way of Jesus.
​
“Merciful​ ​God,​ ​you​ ​guide​ ​us​ ​each ​​day​ ​by​ ​your​ ​grace​ ​and​ ​call​ ​us​ ​to​ ​create​ ​communities​ ​of​ ​faith,​ ​hope,​ ​and​ ​love​ ​in your​ ​name:​ ​Bless​ ​and​ ​uphold​ ​the​​ ministry​ ​of​ the Episcopal​ ​Service​ ​Corps,​ ​especially Circle of the Beloved​ ​in North Minneapolis, that​ ​we​ ​may​ ​do​ ​the​ ​work​ ​that​ ​you​​ have​ ​given​ ​us​ ​to​ ​do,​ ​creating​ ​holy​ ​space​ ​in​ ​our​​ communities​ ​for​ ​service, prayer,​ ​justice,​ ​and​ ​fellowship​ ​to​ ​your​​ honor​ ​and​ ​glory​ ​and​ ​the​ ​coming​ ​of​ ​your​ ​holy​ ​kingdom;​​through​ ​Jesus Christ​ ​our​ ​Lord,​ ​who​ ​lives​ ​and​ ​reigns​ ​with​​ you​ ​and​ ​the​ ​Holy​ ​Spirit,​ one God, now and forever. Amen.
