Beskrivning

Through the lips of Black British Christians, we hear the stories and experiences first hand. Hostility, prejudice and cruelty were not uncommon, but there are also many glimpses of welcome and acceptance as they arrived in a foreign land.Black people of African origin and descent have lived in Britain for man centuries. By the late eighteenth century an increasing number were active Christians. Long before Empire Windrush arrived in Tilbury in mid-1948, black Britons worked as doctors, ministers and political activities, as well as in non-professional roles.They are little known and largely forgotten. Here they touchingly describe their lives, faith, work, families, hopes and ambitions, part of a rich and fascinating seam of British history that has been generally ignored. This intimate portrait will inform black Christians of their heritage, while helping white Christians to understand more about the diversity of Britain's cultural background.

These black voices testify to something miraculous. How could those who were enslaved and oppressed by a culture that had signed up to Christianity go on to embrace the Christian faith? These testimonies speak of the capacity of human nature for both vice and virtue. They bear witness to the amazing grace of God. Their voices have been kept silent for too long. On these pages their voices cry and sing, they pray and preach. The cadences are dignified, the register is noble and the tone is sombre yet full of hope. Here are true voices of the kingdom. Rt Revd James Jones, Bishop of Liverpool
