Churches Deal with Racist Past
(AP) — The Episcopal C hurch is
poised to apologize for failing to
oppose slavery in the 17th and 18“’
Centuries.
At its national convention begin­
ning June 13, the church is expected
to approve a resolution expressing
regret for supporting slavery and
segregation.
T he church is struggling over
whether reparations would be a mean-
ingful gesture 141 years after the
Civil W arended. It em braced a reso­
lution three years ago backing fed­
eral legislation to create a national
reparations task force. This year’s
resolution is more focused on the
church, calling for a study o f how the
denom ination benefited econom i­
cal ly from slavery and how that ben­
efit could be shared with black Epis­
copalians, about 5 percent o f the
denom ination's 2.2 million members.
But it doesn’t give specifics, and
both supporters and detractors say
reparations could m ean anything
from cash paym ents tocollege schol­
arships.
O ther denom inations have since
apologized for their support o f sla­
very.
Earlier this year, the C hurch o f
England - the root o f the Anglican
C om m union o f w hich the Episcopal
Church is a part - voted to acknow l­
edge its com plicity in the global slave
trade. In 2001, the Indianapolis-
based Christian Church (D isciples
o f C hrist) adm itted that its apathy
prolonged the suffering o f enslaved
blacks.
T he Southern Baptists, bom o f
the Baptist split o ver slavery, apolo­
gized more than 10 years ago for
condoning racism for much o f its
history.
The
P re s b y te r ia n
C h u rch
(U.S.A.), which divided over slavery
in 1861 and reunited only in 1983, has
supported the study o f reparations
w ithin the church and has backed a
federal reparations bill.
