Last week Dr Robert Beckford and MJR trustee Paul Keeble spoke to Chick Yuill on Premier Radio about the work of MJR and the new feature documentary, ‘After the Flood: the church, slavery and reconciliation’. The film, which will be premiered in London on 25th May 2022, tells how the 18th century Church became embroiled in the slave trade and encourages us to face the truth and deal with the ongoing legacy of slavery.
“Most Christians don’t know about the history of slavery because it represents one of the biggest cover ups in the history of the church in Britain. What we hope the film will do is enable people to understand this history, and to meaningfully, in an educated way, become part of the solution.” Dr Robert Beckford.
