episcopalians and reparations

this october the episcopal church is to have a service celebrating a day of repentance for it’s role in trans-atlantic slavery. looking to see if the apology will have concrete action for reparations or just words. every diocese has been instructed by a resolution to research it’s history of how it supported and benefited materially from slavery and racism.

hoping that Byron Rushing’s quote, in this article, “”This weekend is not a one shot deal,” said Rushing. “It is the beginning of finding ways for the Episcopal Church to address the issue of slavery both from its theological aspects in that it is a sin, and was a sin, and from its political and economic aspects as part of the formation of what we know as the United States of America because you can not define America without a discussion of slavery in the invention of America.” bears out.
