After the Flood: The Church, Slavery and Reconciliation

All are welcome to a free screening of After the Flood: The Church, Slavery and Reconciliation at St Martin’s Church, Church Street, Epsom, KT17 4PX.  This is a 67-minute film documentary produced by the Movement for Justice and Reconciliation which shows how the eighteenth-century Church of England became embroiled in chattel slavery.  The film explores how the Church justified its involvement in the slave trade and its lasting impact, and what this means for Christian reconciliation in twenty-first-century UK.  The film aims to be educational and redemptive, looking at biblical principles for racial reconciliation in our churches today. There will be refreshments from 2.30pm and after the screening, with a chance to discuss the film afterwards.
