Description
David Isiorho's personal experience of being a black priest in the Church of England is a powerful exploration of the ingrained prejudices and lack of genuine love within the institution. Drawing on his PhD, he shares his own story and those of others who have been impacted by these issues.
This book sheds light on the painful suffering faced by black colleagues, but it is not a vindictive account. Rather, Isiorho seeks to show the salvific and redeeming love of Christ that can bring about real reform and healing. His bravery and hopeful fidelity to God and the Church are evident throughout.
With meticulous research and a deep loyalty to the Church, Isiorho offers a moving and challenging piece that may be uncomfortable for some to confront. However, it is an important contribution to the conversation about the Church's role in addressing racism and promoting justice.
