In Faith and Humanity: A Black British Journey of Discovery and Belonging, Errol Oliver offers a powerful and deeply personal exploration of modern church life, particularly within BRITAIN'S BLACK MAJORITY CHURCHES. He fearlessly navigates the intricate dance between divine aspiration and human reality, acknowledging both the profound joy of belonging and the potential for alienation, even within the sanctuary. Oliver doesn't shy away from the complex realities: from leadership challenges and member dissatisfaction to the evolving landscape of worship in a post-pandemic, technologically driven age. A child of the WINDRUSH GENERATION, he courageously confronts the paradoxes, including the sting of alienation and the enduring impact of racism within these communities, all while championing the transformative power of connection and contribution. Drawing from scripture, the humanities, the sciences, observations and lived experience, this book is more than a spiritual guide; it is a CANDID JOURNEY OF DISCOVERY. Oliver urges leaders and members alike to embrace transparency and address the full spectrum of human experience, encompassing both triumphs and struggles. Whether you are a churchgoer or simply a curious observer, Faith and Humanity invites you to reflect on THE ESSENCE OF COMMUNITY, the complexities of active faith and the enduring quest for belonging in a world yearning for connection.
