BLACK VOICES
The shaping of our Christian experience

By using the first hand accounts of black men and women who lived or spent time in Britain from the mid 18th century through to the present day, Black Voices aims to inform black and white Christians of their heritage and the diversity of Britain’s cultural background.
Each account is helpfully prefaced by some background information. The chronological ‘voices’ are grouped together in chapters focused on topics such as conversion or mission, political protest or ordinary Christian life. An introductory chapter gives a valuable social history of black people in Britain.
