The Birmingham Baptist Churches exploring their Black History research project aims to help churches re-narrate their church histories in order to acknowledge the largely overlooked experiences and contributions of the first Black church members (men and women), first Black deacons (men and women), first Black pastors (men and women) in the Baptist Union of Great Britain’s churches.
The project principal investigator Gale Richards is a Postdoctoral Research Fellow of the Centre for Baptist Studies.
The project now has it’s own separate webpage with more details and resources from the project (photos, biographies, stories and interview extracts) here:
