Meet Shannon Burke, Spring 2026 EES Grant Recipient
Through her project, Circles of Beloved Community, Shannon Burke is creating spaces where relationships deepen, stories are shared, and people encounter Christ through authentic connection.
Rooted in the simple practices of gathering, listening, and sharing meals, Shannon's ministry brings people together across differences, fostering belonging, dignity, and mutual understanding. By creating opportunities for storytelling and faithful presence, the project helps participants build trust, strengthen community, and discover the ways God is already at work in their lives and neighborhoods.
For Shannon, evangelism begins with listening—making room for people to be known, heard, and welcomed into deeper relationship with one another and with God.
We're grateful to support Shannon's ministry through an Episcopal Evangelism Society grant.
