Product description
Through the lips of black British Christians, we hear the stories and experiences first hand. Hostility, prejudice and cruelty were not uncommon, but there are also many glimpses of welcome and acceptance, as they arrived in a foreign land.
Black people of African origin and descent have lived in Britain for many centuries. By the late eighteenth century an increasing number were active Christians. Long before Empire Windrush arrived in Tilbury in mid-1948, black Britons worked as doctors, ministers and political activists, as well as in non-professional roles.
They are little known and largely forgotten. Here they touchingly describe their lives, faith, work, families,
hopes and ambitions, part of a rich and fascinating seam of British history that has been generally ignored.
This intimate portrait will inform black Christians of their heritage, while helping white Christians to understand more about the diversity of Britain's cultural background.
