Cathedral exhibition starts dialogue to repair 'a sense of shame'

An exhibition opened in the Anglican Cathedral to repair history that "may now bring a sense of shame".

The Very Revd Dr. Sue Jones, Dean of Liverpool, told the ECHO: "Liverpool Cathedral is committed to recognising its past links to the trade in enslaved Africans and endeavouring to lament and repair those connections. Through this photographic exhibition, we aim to encounter the diverse nature of our community, fostering dialogue and understanding as we strive for a better future together.

Research found Queen Anne’s Bounty invested heavily in the South Sea Company , part of the origins of the church's endowment fund. As an initial response, they pledged to create a new impact investment endowment fund, seeking to attract others to join or take similar action, so the ultimate size of the fund is larger.The RJG added: "The history of England and its churches is complex.

Asked what descendants of slaves can expect from the ongoing efforts, Jennie added: "A lot more conversations in churches, wherever it is they are. The free exhibition runs from March 18 to April 6 and will travel to several churches within the Liverpool diocese. He said this meant different things to different communities, and added: "Pan-African reparations look very different, in the diaspora look very different. Peoples that were wiped out; indigenous North American Indians, Arawaks, their reparations looks very very different.
