Black History Month Resources

The following resources have been created to support Baptists Together develop intercultural churches. The most recently published resources are We Must Repay,  written by Dr Eleasah Lewis, on the topic of reparations and History, Rebellion and Reform – a collection of the last ten Sam Sharpe Lectures…
 

	We Will Repay - NEW In this thoughtful, reflective, and accessible resource, We Will Repay Bible studies support churches as they think through the Biblical rationale for reparations. By using Old and New Testament narratives that support reparations, author Eleasah Louis argues why the God of justice is fully in support of reparatory justice.
	History, Rebellion, Reform - NEW A collection of a decade's contribution from scholars, thinkers, activists, and ministers responding to the legacy of Sam Sharpe, a Baptist and a Jamaican national hero
	Wonderful Youth Biblical sessions to empower young people between the ages of 13 and 16 to become ‘the best that you can be’.  Even though there is a vast number of resources on the Christian market to enable young people to reflect on their Christian faith, few (if any) intentionally enable Black, Asian, and Minority Ethnics to see their image reflected in the resources.
	Racial Justice Advocacy Forum An ecumenical Christian entity that seeks to speak prophetically on behalf of Black and Brown Christians to the government on racial injustice challenges and reparations. The forum comprises representatives from various Christian institutions such as the Ascension Trust, the Baptist Union of Great Britain, Churches Together in Britain and Ireland, the Evangelical Alliance, the Methodist Church, the Religious Society of Friends (Quakers), the Salvation Army, the Sam Sharpe Project, and the United Reformed Church.
	Sam Sharpe lecture - Thursday 24 October The Sam Sharpe lectures seek to broaden and advance the legacy of Sam Sharpe by exploring subjects in mission, race, class, and injustice. This year's Sam Sharpe Lecture will be delivered at The Queen's Foundation, Birmingham, by The Revd Dr Carlton Turner on the theme: 'Fighting for Freedom, Fighting for Wholeness: Revolutionary Reactions to Colonial Christianity'
	Visions of Colour A resource designed for Baptist ministers and Baptist ministers in training to develop an awareness of, sensitivity to, and action towards issues of racial, ethnic, and cultural discrimination in Baptist churches in Britain. In line with the current focus across Baptists Together on racial justice, in conversation with Baptist tradition, and reflection on the current British social and political climate, this course requires the participants to reflect theologically and develop action plans with their churches in response to the conversation about racial, ethnic, and cultural discrimination.
	Journeying to Justice A book featuring contributions from a variety of scholars and practitioners who together explore Black Baptist relations between England and the Caribbean. It is the first comprehensive appraisal of the journey towards equity and reconciliation among British and Jamaican Baptists since our Union's Apology for Slavery in 2007.
