February is celebrated as Black History Month and this February, the
Anglican Journal makes note of that tradition by turning its attention to Black and African Christians inside and outside of the Anglican Church of Canada.
Journal spoke with Lutheran and United Church of Canada leaders who have worked to disconnect words like “dark” and “black” from evil and “light” and “white” from goodness. We look again to the United Church as we report on a public conversation between its general secretary, the Rev. Michael Blair, and National Indigenous Anglican Archbishop Mark MacDonald about how the church can decolonize itself around issues affecting Black Canadian Christians, including theology grants and the creation of an African-Canadian theological institution.
