The Black Church in the 21st Century provides an exciting and fresh look at the key
issues facing the Black Church Movement in Britain today, representing a bold attempt
for scope and analysis. Now over 50 years old, and having experienced great success,
the Black Church is facing an uncertain future as part of a context in which
Christianity is itself challenged by an increasingly secular, plural society.
The book shows why at a post-modern moment of competing voices and simultaneous calls for faith and cultural cohesion, the Black Church is crucial as a prophetic advocate for the
Black Community. Its chapters also demonstrate that current and future social,
economic and political challenges demand of the Black Church in Britain greater
awareness and progressive change in both style and substance.
This is not the traditional outsider’s view of the Black Church, it is very much a book of
insiders’ critical analyses of their beloved institution, the challenges it faces and what
response options are preferable in an increasingly secular and plural society.
Bishop Dr Joe D Aldred is Secretary for Minority Ethnic Christian Affairs with
Churches Together in England; former Director of the Centre for Black and White
Christian Partnership and Chair of the Council of Black-led Churches. He is also a
well established broadcaster and author. Ms Keno Ogbo was instrumental in
setting up the Peace Alliance, a national charity working with local churches and the
wider community to tackle issues around community safety, social justice andcohesion. She is a visiting lecturer at the University of Hertfordshire.
