Did you know the Church sits at the heart of the history of the Transatlantic Trade in Enslaved Africans? Our patron Rose Hudson-Wilkin reflects on this relationship and reminds us that this isn't Black history; it's ALL our history #BlackHistoryMonth youtu.be/K9FCLt3_Ngo

It's with great sadness that we report the loss of our President, Bob Hughes. As Chair of the Anti-Apartheid Movement for decades, he saw it grow from a small team of activists to one of Britain’s largest campaigning organisations. We send sincere condolences to his family.
