Also, we would like to tell you about two new initiatives. The first of which is our new BLM Reading Group. We will be reading “We Need to Talk About Race – Understanding the Black Experience in White Majority Churches” by Ben Lindsay and meeting online to discuss the book on Thursdays 8.00 – 9.00pm, September 16, 23, 30 & October 7, 14. Free – All welcome. Register on Eventbrite at https://cutt.ly/amQqpkI.
Explore eye-opening insights into the black religious experience, challenging the status quo in white majority churches and discuss how we can work together to create a truly inclusive church community. From the UK Church’s complicity in the transatlantic slave trade to the whitewashing of Christianity throughout history, the Church has a lot to answer for when it comes to race relations. Christianity has been dubbed the white man’s religion, yet the Bible speaks of an impartial God and shows us a diverse body of believers. It’s time for the Church to start talking about race.

The second initiative is an event called “Meet the Chaplains” to be held at 7pm on 22 October 2021 online at https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/meet-the-chaplains-tickets-164735122185. Many of you will be familiar with our “Meet the Neighbours” events hosted by CTiW member churches, and this is an extension of this idea. Chaplains from a number of different sectors within Westminster will be speaking online about their ministries. Everyone is welcome, and we anticipate that this will be an enjoyable and informative event.
