Epworth announces major new title:

Respect - Understanding Caribbean Christianity
by Bishop Dr Joe Aldred
         

In this ground-breaking book Dr Joe Aldred investigates the context of Caribbean British Christianity through the prism of their ethnicity and their faith.

Christians from the Caribbean have settled in Britain since the late 1940s and in spite of rejection and misunderstanding they have shaped a new British identity which is dynamic, empowering and challenging. The author agues that this no longer majors in the victim-based dialectic of oppression / liberation. It is an unapologetic and prophetic identity which seeks to be respected and understood.

This ground-breaking work will be of interest to all those in leadership in Black majority churches in the UK as well as those who minister in a multi-cultural context who want to better understand the contribution of Caribbean British Christians.

Rt Rev Dr John Sentamu, Archbishop of York writes:

This book provides a vital map that can help to create greater mutual understanding.

Dr Joe Aldred is Secretary for Minority Ethnic Christian Affairs for Churches Together in Britain and Ireland, and former Director of the Centre for Black and White Christian Partnership.

Dr Joe Aldred will be speaking about his new book at a seminar at the forthcoming Christian Resources Exhibition at Stoneleigh Park on Wednesday 8 February at 1.30 pm in the Avon Suite where mph has exhibition stand C11.
