Join the Slavery Truth Project…

Welcome > News > Join the Slavery Truth Project…
Posted on February 20, 2025

From the 5th of March, Liverpool Cathedral will be participating in the Slavery Truth Project; a collaborative venture that advances racial justice within the Cathedral and the Diocese.

The Slavery Truth Project is a reflective and creative programme that invites church communities to explore their links to the Transatlantic Trade of Enslaved Africans. This project provides churches with an appropriate, reconciling way of responding to the presence of memorials and items that relate to slavery in their buildings. Your group will have the opportunity to engage with the history of these memorials and their place in the Cathedral building. Working closely with a community artist, you will share your reflections on the cultural, social and faith connections of these objects.

The project will follow a six-session structure over the course of 12 weeks, finishing with a presentation to the wider community. All sessions will take place in the Liverpool Cathedral Concert Room from 2:45 – 4:45 pm. The dates are as follows:

Session 1: 5th March

Session 2: 10th March

Session 3: 2nd April

Session 4: 16th April

Session 5: 29th April

Session 6: 13th May

Presentation: TBC

The Dean of the Cathedral has issued the following statement regarding the project:

The work of the Slavery Truth Project is important to us as a Diocese and as a Cathedral. The project gives the opportunity for you to contribute to this very important work so please can I encourage you to sign up and engage with it.

If you would like to take part in the project, please email the Racial Justice Team: Racial.justice@liverpool.anglican.org
