The Diocese of Liverpool is committed to more people knowing Jesus and more justice throughout the world. In the last few years, these challenges have become more widely acknowledged than ever before – the rapid expansion of the global Black Lives Matter movement and the tearing down of memorials dedicated to slave owners have positioned that fight for equality and understanding firmly in the public square.
The Church of England has its own legacy when it comes to racial injustices. This Diocese is willing to challenge its history and connections with the Trade in Enslaved Africans. However, the impacts of racism within Liverpool Diocese can be witnessed through the lack of participation from those who are from UKME/GMH backgrounds. The work of reconciliation has already begun in this Diocese.
