A senior black clergywoman has accused the Church Of England of institutional racism because it has so few ethnic minorities in its highest ranks. There are only six black, asian and minority ethnic clergy at the highest levels of the Church Despite black evangelical churches becoming more popular. Martin bashir reports. Praise the lord. The reverend Tunde Roberts has been leading a growing and diverse congregation for the last 17 years and cannot understand why ethnic minorities can fill the pews and pulpits of the Church Of England, but not Senior Leadership positions. What is it about being a bishop that we cannot do . What is different . The appointment of Karowei Dorgu yesterday, as bishop of woolwich, has been welcomed, but does little to improve statistics. 0f 41 diocese, there is only one black, asian or minority ethnic bishop, john sentamu, the archbishop of york. Hes one ofjust five minority ethnic clergy to hold senior positions in the entire Church Of England. Rose Hudson Wilkin serves at the centre of the nations democracy, as chaplin to the speaker of the house of commons. Shes also one of the most prominent black members of the clergy. I do not believe that the church respects and embraces its minority ethnic membership. When you describe the church as not respecting people of colour, of being visible and invisible, are you not describing the essential elements of institutional racism . I suspect that i am. Its a heavy burden. It is really a heavy burden to say that because that is the church that i belong to. That is the church that i love. Clearly, there have been issues about development, about people being given the opportunities to take on those posts, which are stepping stone posts to senior appointments and, im almost certain though one cant prove these things that there must have been bias of some kind within the appointments processes in past years. The growth of ethnically diverse churches means theyre unlikely to be so patient if forced to wait 20 more years for another black bishop. Martin bashir, bbc news. Keepin keep in touch on twitter.
