Description

The Church's words on racial equality are often at odds with its actions. A.D.A France-Williams examines the reality of institutional racism within the Church of England, revealing how black and brown ministers face barriers to success. Through conversations with clergy, laypeople, and campaigners, France-Williams argues that structural change is needed to address these issues. Institutional racism is not a problem that can be solved by simply recruiting more diverse clergy. Rather, it requires a fundamental transformation of the institution's structure and mindset. Ghost Ship explores the stories of those who have experienced racism within the Church of England, highlighting the need for urgent reform before it's too late. This book offers a stark warning to the church, challenging its complacency and collusion in the face of racial inequality.
