Racial Justice event

Friday 18 November at 10am 

The Rt Hon Lord Paul Boateng will be the guest speaker at a special event open to all at Lichfield Cathedral in November focusing on Racial Justice and Inclusion in the Church of England.

Lord Boateng will speak about the ongoing work of the Archbishops’ Racial Justice Commission, which he chairs, at the morning which is hosted by members of the Diocese of Lichfield’s UKME (United Kingdom Minority Ethnic) Network.

There will also be an update on the work of the diocese’s Racial Justice and Inclusion Task Group along with worship led by Adrian and Esther Stone. The Bishop of Lichfield, the Rt Revd Dr Michael Ipgrave, will take part in the event as well on Friday 18 November at 10am.

Mandated to drive ‘significant cultural and structural change on issues of racial justice within the Church of England’, the ACRJ is charged with monitoring, holding to account and supporting the implementation of the 47 recommendations of the Racial Justice Taskforce which were laid out in the taskforce’s comprehensive 2020 report From Lament to Action.
