Race, Faith & Justice at St Aldates: Resources List
We are a house of prayer for all nations. We believe we are called to minister and make room for all people within the church; through our welcome, worship and witness. The Race, Faith & Justice group at St Aldates seeks to address the issue of racial injustice with theology, education, healthy dialogue and prayer.
Below you will find a list of resources all about race divided by the following themes: Race and Faith, Race in the UK, Race in the Age of George Floyd, Fiction & Poetry, and Race in the US and Other Contexts. This list is not exhaustive, but will provide foundational knowledge about race and why it is relevant to us, as Christians and members of the larger society.
If you have any questions, or want to find out more about how to get involved in Race, Faith & Justice at St Aldates, please contact us at raceandfaith@staldates.org.uk
