Richard Reddie on the ongoing challenge to effect real racial justice in Church and society

Leeds Minster

This year we're welcoming Richard Reddie to give the annual Hook Lecture on faith and racial justice.___________________________________________How can we as Christians turn key moments in our collective consciousness into true movements for transformation in Church and society?Racial justice is everyone's business. Racial justice is unfinished business.This summer saw racist undertones and culture wars in British society turn into overt violence and intimidation. How can moments like this act as a wake up call to church and society? And how can the church respond?Richard Reddie will explore where we go from here, and how building strong cohesive communities will help us turn these key moments into movements for real change.___________________________________________Richard Reddie is a researcher and cultural commentator on the intersections of religion and race, author of works including Race for Justice, and Abolition! The struggle to abolish slavery in the British colonies. He is Director of Inclusion and Justice for Churches Together in Britain and Ireland, with extensive experience in ecumenical movements for change.___________________________________________After the talk there will be an opportunity for Q&amp;A led by Professor Johanna Stiebert.
