Keep The Faith Launches Online Lecture Series About Black Church

Keep The Faith magazine recently launched its first ever Online Talk series. 

Launched on June 13, writer and publisher Juliet Coley delivered the first talk on the topic ‘Windrush Women: Pillars of the Black Church’. The second talk, entitled
‘The Black Church in Britain: Past, Present & Future’ was delivered by author and former BBC producer Roy Francis.

This new initiative aims to provide a platform for academics, authors, writers, church leaders and specialists from within the Black Christian community to share insights on the history, development and success of the Black Church and the people within it. Individuals will also be invited to talk on topics of importance that relate to the Black Christian experience and the wider community.

Bishop Dr Joe Aldred is set to deliver the third Keep The Faith (KTF) online talk, entitled ‘The UK Black Church – An Agent of Change and Upward Social Mobility’ on July 29.  Much of it will be based on his latest book, Flourishing in Babylon: Black British Agency and Self-Determination, and will elaborate on some of the themes launched in the book, such as diversity, ecumenism and justice.

Keep The Faith publisher and editor Marcia Dixon stated,

I am keen for Keep The Faith to initiate discussion about important issues of interest and concerns pertaining to Black Christians. 

I couldn’t do these talks without sponsors Just Money, Bronze Ash Funerals, Dare to Inspire, and Christian Aid, who have enthusiastically supported this initiative.
