Church Hurt: Reparations for My Soul: Healing Racialized Trauma

By: Fisher-Stewart, Gayle

The Episcopal Church is wrestling with anti-black racism and white supremacy. However, there is a deeper question that informs any actions taken to rid itself of these evils. What did black people do to garner the hatred, the vitriol, the violence that has been visited upon our bodies since we were immorally brought to these shores over 400 years ago? Why have we been traumatized by both the church and society, a trauma that we bring to the church and leave with even more? Church Hurt is a guide for the Episcopal Church as it faces calls for reparations and becomes the beloved community where the dignity of all people is respected.
