Description :
A personal story of the struggle for authentic inclusion in the church. From a
strong voice in the dialogue about what Black lives matter means in relation to
faith, a powerful lament and a hopeful message about the future. Historically,
to be Episcopal/Anglican, as it was to be American, was to be white.
Assimilation to whiteness has been a measure of success and acceptance,
yet, assimilation requires that people of color give up something of themselves
and deny parts of their heritage including religious practices that sustained
their ancestors. Despite the fact that Blackness is on display on Black History
Month for example, and Black/African heritage is given primacy in the liturgy,
music, and preaching during that time, at other times this doesn't seem to be
the case. The author argues that whiteness is embedded in every aspect of
religious life, from seminary to Christian education to last rites. Is it possible to
be Black and Episcopalian and not feel alien, she asks. In her words we learn
that inclusivity, above all, must be authentic.
