Tackling the ‘wicked problem’ of racial justice in the Church of England requires careful reckoning with the manifold legacies of the Church’s extensive historic entanglement with racialized colonialism and empire. This book gathers a refreshing breadth of considered analysis and reflection on these issues. Highly recommended for anyone longing that, in every corner, the Church may more fully embrace the expanded vision of God and humanity offered us in Jesus Christ.
