Truth, history, the Church Commissioners, and reparative justice

It is over three years since the Church Commissioners published their controversial report on the Church’s links to the slave trade.  Since then critics have challenged the Commissioners’ historical research while both the Church Commissioners and their historical advisers have published their separate responses to such criticism.  However, in the light of recent academic research it is now clear beyond doubt that the Commissioners’ historical analysis is deeply flawed and their conclusions mistaken.  The Commissioners therefore have a moral responsibility to withdraw their report and correct the record before a false historical narrative, to which they have lent their full authority, becomes further embedded in Google, AI and in schools and colleges throughout the world.

Are we ready for change in Lincoln County?

Sue Lani Madsen –  Forthright

NIMBY is a perfectly normal reaction when people are comfortable with the way things are, but change will happen anyway. This is a story about a community starting the conversation before it turns into a battle. A Braver Angels style Town Hall provided the setting. There will always be tradeoffs in conserving the best of the past while nurturing the positive opportunities of the future.
