The Church is very good at saying all the right things about racial
equality. But the reality is that the institution has utterly
failed to back up these good intentions with demonstrable efforts
to reform. It is a long way from being a place of black
flourishing. Through conversation with clergy, lay people and
campaigners in the Church of England, A.D.A France-Williams issues
a stark warning to the church, demonstrating how black and brown
ministers are left to drown in a sea of complacency and collusion.
While sticking plaster remedies abound, France-Williams argues that
what is needed is a wholesale change in structure and mindset.
Unflinching in its critique of the church, Ghost Ship explores the
harrowing stories of institutional racism experienced then and now,
within the Church of England. Far from being an issue which can be
solved by simply recruiting more black and brown clergy, says
France-Williams, structural racism requires a wholesale dismantling
and reassembling of the ship - before it is too late.
