About
This webinar held on the 13th May 2024, was the second panel in the series of online discussions about the Anglican Church and Slavery. This collaborative series explores the historical involvement of the Anglican Church in the institution of slavery, the lasting implications of colonialism on the Church and actions to progress racial justice by the Church of England Racial Justice Unit (CoERJU).
This webinar considers specifically the role of women as enslavers/beneficiaries of African enslavement and their links to the Anglican church, including religious justifications for keeping African-descended people enslaved. It focus on women as resistors/rebels against slavery (including as church leaders); and how women, especially Black women, are viewed in the church today as a result of slavery.
